WFM Alisa Melekhina earned the half point necessary to gain her WGM norm. Her draw against FM Shankar secured the WGM norm with a round to spare.
Her next goal is to either beat or draw FM Chow in her last round game on Friday night to secure her IM norm!

Congratulations to Alisa!

Congratulations!
Way to go!
Is there a non-subscription website where they have a crosstable from this event?
She’s certainly come a long way since her first round at the US Open last August.

has the crosstable.
Looks like she drew her last game so she’s achieved an IM norm!
