By Associated PressWednesday, October 14, 2009
ST. LOUIS — Defending champion Anna Zatonskih reclaimed her title as U.S. women’s chess champion in a tournament held in St. Louis.
The Long Island, N.Y., resident beat nine other players, who were all ranked among the Top 12 in the country. The 31-year-old qualified for the next Women’s World Championship, which will be held in Istanbul in 2010.
The women’s event ended Tuesday at the Chess Club and Scholastic Center of St. Louis. Zatonskih said tournament chess is tough, but not as demanding as raising her 2-year-old daughter.

Way to go Anna!
HA HA HA HA.
That sounds like a dig at her opposition.
I guarantee she would not say the same thing if she were competing in the Men’s closed.
