Congratulations on your tie for 2nd place, only 1/2 point out of first, it's a great result! A move here or there and you would have 8.5 also

Hi Yelena,

Have a lot of fun playing in the Championship - I have a feeling that you are going to do very good in this year's championship!

Looking at Sono Pearl's top 20 list, my records show Yelena having a record during the past three and a half years of 3 wins, 8 draws and only 1 loss against the top 19 players. Also she beat second seed, Antoaneta Stefanova just this past December!

Now, go get them Yelena. Focus, play hard and finish in the top 5. You can do it!
