Arianne Caoili (on the photo below from www.chesspics.com) won the London Chess Classic Women’s Invitational that took place in London from December 8 to December 15, 2009.


The final table of the London Chess Classic Women’s International can be found here.

In the open section of the festival IM Jovanka Houska (on the photo below)

shared 2nd place with GMs Mark Hebden and Simon Williams on 7/9, a point behind the first place – GM Jon Ludvig Hammer. The full table can be seen here.

I congratulate the ladies on this success and wish them all the best in their future tournaments!
