The 3rd Women's Grand Prix of the 2011-12 series took place in Nalchik, Russia, Sunday 9th - Friday 21st Oct 2011. Zhao Xue (Zhao Xue on Wikipedia) put together a truly amazing performance starting with 9.5/10 before somewhat spoiling things losing a game where she stood slightly better as black against Ju Wenjun who took clear second place. Zhao Xue is 26 but this looks like a huge leap forward for her. She was a semi-finalist in the women's world championship knock-out last year where she lost to the Ruan Lufei (correction Zsuzsa Veroci who now has a blog in Hungarian). She scored 6/11 sharing 5th-6th in the Shenzhen Women's Grand Prix which finished a month ago.
