The second tournament of the FIDE Women’s Grand-Prix 2013-2014 took place from 16th to 28th June in Dilijan, Armenia.

Indian Grandmaster and former World Championship challenger Humpy Koneru took a clear first place with 8,0/11 points, leaving the nearest followers a full point behind.

Anna Muzychuk was in contention for the first place but Koneru always maintained a slight edge and even extended the margin with a last round victory against Batchimeg Tuvshintugs.

Meanwhile, Muzychuk drew Elina Danielian.

Nana Dzagnidze defeated Olga Girya to catch Muzychuk on the shared second place.

World Champion Anna Ushenina finished on 50% score, while the winner of the previous Grand Prix in Geneva, Bela Khotenashvili, finished last with 4 points.
