GM Pia Cramling is the most experience player left in this Women’s World Championship. She became the third woman in history to earn the GM title in 1992 through traditional qualification (after me in January 1991 and my sister Judit in December 1991). Is this her year to win the most illustrious title?

That was a convincing win of her. Goodluck to her behind the white pieces.
I’m glad to see Pia do so well.
Hope for Cramling-Hou in the final.
Pia is doing good job. She will have her title and wins. Better late than never.
sorry but it isn’t.
