2008 U.S. Women's Chess Championship

I've updated Chess Femme News through Round 7. Today is the big game between Anna Zatonskih (W) and Irina Krush (B). Susan Polgar is following the live action at ICC and posting on her blog. When I checked a few minutes ago, it appeared that Anna was losing or had lost the initiative. I'll be updating Chess Femme News more tonight, but right now I'm anxiously awaiting the results of Zatonskih-Krush! Updated 8:43 p.m. CST Zatonskih-Krush drew. Here is the game in PGN: [Event "2008 Frank K.
