Hmm, could be tough for Harriet with Han being at home. She's been in reasonable form recently. Harriet did beat her in 3 in the Japan semi final earlier in the year.
Just a little confusion: steven's table has 1 point for being in the first Q round (now just Harriet) and 12 points for Katy having come through one match into FQR.
Which ties in with last year, I think.
But the pdf for this year has zero points for the first round, 1 point for Katy (effectively) and then 18 points for qualifying.
Well, so far Katy's 12 pts for the QR1 replace 12 pts coming off from this time last year... but although she did reach the QR2 of the same tournament a year ago, this 12 points are very surprisingly for winning a 15k in Kyoto last Sept, the week before the Seoul tournament! It is strange, because overall Katy has only increased her points tally by 35 altogether this year, as per Steven's table, but her level and standard of play has increased by much more than that, as can be seen in the different sources of the 12 pts coming on and off this week. It is certainly the last 15k she played in
I had expected her to be top 200 by now, so let's hope she does get there soon.
