Kibitzer's Corner
Jul-29-17  cro777: FIDE World Youth U14, U16, U18 Championships took place from 20 September to 4 October 2016 in Khanty-Mansiysk, Russia.

"The champion of the Girls 14 category was determined the quickest of all. Who could ever expect seeing the Indian Vantika Agrawal (15th ranked player of the tournament) and the American Annie Wang (14th ranked) on top of the leaderboard on the last day? And who could expect both of them losing in the last round, thus handing the gold medal over to the Chinese Zhu Jiner (12th ranked)?"

Oct-21-19  dumbgai: Having a horrible tournament at the World Junior Girls. As the top seed and only player rated 2500+, she has only 3.5/6 against opponents with an average rating of ~2000. Soon to be 4/7 as the position is dead drawn with her 2173-rated opponent in round 7.
