We are still working out the exact scores of the Grand Prix. As simple rocket scientists we consulted an expert: WGM Zsuzsa Veroci, who explained it to us while the final round was still under way and final results not yet in. "If Koneru wins," Zsuzsa told us, she will play the world championship match against Hou Yifan, but in case Sebag wins, then Dzagnidze is the challenger!" Not quite easy, ist it? Our WGM friend went on to explain: "The participants get 120 + 40 bonus points for first place, 110 + 20 for second, and 100 + 10 for third. Koneru had a very bad start in the Nalchik Grand Prix. Then she tied the first place wit Danielian, and it was 145 points. All together she will have 398.5 points, 8.5 points more then Dzagndze. If she ties for first place with Danielian and Sebag, it is only 133.3 points, and she only has a total of 386.6 points, which is 3.4 points less then Dzagndze, who is then the challenger!" We are going to stick to rocket science. A full description of the qualification will follow shortly here.
