Ju Wenjun ensured that she finished in second place after beating her compatriot Zhao Xue in the last round of the Nalchik Women's Grand Prix. This loss hardly took the shine off Zhao Xue's tournament result, as 9½/11 was still an exceptional performance and she will naturally take with her maximum Grand Prix points. Viktorija Cmilyte and Ekaterina Kovalevskaya were equal third.
