IM Evgenia Chasovnikova tells about the winners of the European championship (women).
The tournament gathered all the glory of women's chess except Chiburdanidze and Kosteniuk. After round 8, it seemed that the question of title is decided since Alisa Galliamova left all the competitors behind scoring one point more than the closest chaser. However Alisa managed to obtain only half a point in three games remaining.
Then one Russian leader changed another in the tournament. Tanya Kosintseva played brilliantly having obtained wins over Stefanova, Skripchenko and Galliamova! Alas, Tanya lost in the last round. Her 3rd prize could hardly be considered a failure, because apart from qualifying for the world championship Tanya (together with her sister Nadezhda who also qualified for the world championship) obtained almost $6500.
The most experienced Pia Kramling (Sweden) obtained the first prize. She was a grandmaster when many women's chess stars of today have not even been born. The champion played in a rather solid, not bright manner "drying out" her younger and hotter opponents.
