Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
I think Hou Yifan will win.
Possibly. She certainly has fair chances. I’m thinking it will be fairly close, though. Humpy has to win her last two games, and I think she’ll draw against Zhao Xue. Stefanova will either lose or draw to Yifan, i doubt she’ll be able to beat Yifan. And Tatiana has fair chances of winning the tournament considering she’ll be playing against the lowest seed, and playing Marie Sebag, who is having the worst tournament of her career this year. However, its possible for Marie to make a surprise and end up beating Tatiana. There are a lot of possibilities still in play. A lot depends if Yifan can win her last two games. This is a must for victory for her, and for her rating.
Stefanova will be able to beat Yifan/no doubt;)/ and will win.
