The first move of the last round
In the last two rounds Humpy Koneru played against Mariya Muzychuk and Antoaneta Stefanova. Koneru , who started the tournament as favorite, won both games and now has good chances to win the Grand Prix.
Humpy Koneru
Harika Dronavalli finished the tournament with two draws but this was enough to win the tournament on tie-break. The two Indians both finished with 7.0/11 and both gained 145 Grand Prix points, which allowed Koneru to take first place in the overall Grand Prix standings.
Harika Dronavalli
Ju Wenjun won 93.5 Grand Prix points and is now second in the overall Grand Prix standings. However, if she plays well in the final Grand Prix event she might catch Koneru and win the Grand Prix.
Ju Wenjun
Valentina Gunina, who did not play in Chengdu, too, still has theoretical chances to win the Grand Prix, for instance, if she wins the the final Grand Prix event and Ju Wenjun finishes fifth or worse.
After the next World title match the Grand Prix winner has the right to challenge the Women's World Champion for the title.
