There were 327 players higher ranked than her, at this tourney.

her play was rated at 2316 over the course of the event, and she gained a massive, massive 211 Elo-going from 1944 to 2155.

She did this against an "open" field.

Congrats to her.

Edit

thanks to new Gotham video, I've learned she did not win the event, but was the highest woman finisher.

Apparently a literal genius-iq of 200, and had, at a 32 game win streak against international competition
