2008 U.S. Women's Chess Championship

Round 7 has come and gone - Krush won to go from 5.5 to 6.5; Zatonskih lost to stay at 6.0. Today they face each other in a game that may decide who is the 2008 Champion. Susan Polgar comments. This is a critical game - but the other women aren't coasting to the finish line. There's an intense battle for third place right now. Standings after 7: 1 Krush, Irina IM 2515 USA 6.5 2 Zatonskih, Anna IM 2490 USA 6.0 3 Abrahamyan, Tatev WFM 2280 USA 5.0 4-5 Tuvshintugs, Batchimeg WIM 2289 USA 4.5 4-5 Rohonyan, Katerine WGM 2318 USA 4.5 6 Battsetseg, Tsagaan WIM 2251 USA 3.5 7 Zenyuk, Iryna WFM 2205 USA 2.5 8 Epstein, Esther WM 2194 USA 1.5 9 Airapetian, Chouchanik WFM 2143 USA 1.0 10 Jamison, Courtney 2064 USA 0.0 Very exciting!
