Hooray Irina! Please stay in Oklahoma so we can have a resident GM someday!
Congratulations to Irina for becoming the new champ, and to Anna for waging a tough fight to keep her crown. Now, both of you, hurry up and get the GM’s title! 🙂
CONGRATULATIONS IRINA KRUSH!!! :)))))))
You are one of the best female chessplayers! Let’s hope you can improve still and stop playing ‘women only’ events!!!
You can compete with very strong male players too!!
CONGRATS! keep up the good work!
Felicitations to Krush!
I called this one from the beginning!
Congrats to Irina: always been a fan since her contribution to the Kasparov-World game some years ago.
Of course I am an Irina fan. enough said. congratulations.
All 3 deserve to go to the world championships. Any one of the 3 might have an even better tournament. It was an exciting and interesting tournament. It went down to the wire and the 16 year old made the difference getting a draw in the last round.
Congratulations to Alisa on her last round draw.
Irina is doing well and I hope she makes GM very shortly.
I want to thank everyone including the players and the Berry’s and all those who contributed to this wonderful tournament. Great exciting tournament.
