The Sharjah Women's Grand Prix took place Mon 25th Aug to Sat 6th Sep in Sharjah UAE. This was the final event of the Women's Grand Prix series for 2013-14. Hou Yifan shared first place with Ju Wenjun and with that secured victory in the entire Grand Prix series. Humpy Koneru finished in second place but only scored 50%. Hou Yifan will have to defend her title in an as yet unscheduled knock-out but this result means she will get to defend her title next year in a match whether she wins that or not. Humpy Koneru's second place means she will play Hou Yifan provided she retains her title in that knockout. FIDE WGP Wikipedia entry is excellent with the results and standings
