Anna Endress came in third in the 1.Mini ORDIX Open (U14) with 5.0/6 (+5 =0 -1) http://www.chesstigers.de/ccm7/tour... The time control was 20min + 5s increment

August 15 2007:

DLM 2007 (a german national championship with teams from the federal states), Endress played for Rhineland-Palatinate and scored 50 % (+3 =1 -3) with an excellent performance (national rating 1967, new rating 2061)

Nov-03-07, Trier

Endress participated in the International youth contest between Rhineland-Palatinate (her team), Saarland, Luxembourg and the german-speaking part of Belgium.

Her team won every match and ended up on first place:

1. Rhineland-Palatinate 49.0/60 6:0
2. Saarland 32.5/60 4:2
3. Luxembourg 20.0/60 2:4
4. Belgium 18.5/60 0:6

Endress won all her games:

1.Round (versus Luxembourg)
Endress - Atashpender, Arisha 1-0

2.Round (versus Saarland)
Fernschild, Daniel - Endress 0-1

She's currently competing in the U16 (Girls) German Youth Championship and has scored 5.5/7 so far (+5 =1 -1) with 9 rounds overall, so two more rounds to go she occupies second place (1 point behind Bo Penne (the only one to beat her) and one point ahead of the contenders for third place).

Good luck for the last two rounds, Anna!

The final standing in the U16 (Girls) German Youth Championship:

1. Bo Penne 8.0/9
2. Anna Endress 7.5/9
3. Alisa Frey 6.0/9
4. Milana Smolkina 6.0/9

It's obvious that Bo Penne and Anna Endress were in a class of their own and Anna's performance was excellent. Anna (+7 =1 -1) was only 0.5 points behind Bo Penne (+7 =2 -0). Despite being the rating favorite, Anna belongs to the younger players in the U16 (Girls) section (Bo Penne for example was born in 1992).

Congratulations to Bo Penne - the new German U16 (Girls) Champion!

Congratulations to Anna Endress who came very close and put up a great fight! I'm sure that she will win next year!

The German team consisted of girls only and came in 9th (seeded 10th) with Anna Endress on board 3.

Endress scored 2.5/7 against a rating average of 2086 - a rating performance of 1955 (her current Elo is 2038) and she'll lose 5.8 points.

Her results:

Endress 1/2 FM Oliver Mihok (2352)
Stefan Mazur (2180) 1-0 Endress
Endress 1-0 Connor Woods (1881)
Jure Plaskan (2149) 1-0 Endress
Endress 1-0 Ahmet Ersin Yassa
Endress 0-1 FM Canto Jaime Valmana (2389)
IM Gyula Pap (2415) 1-0 Endress

So Endress performance is not as bad as the rating changes indicate since she only lost to players more than 100 points above her and please note that Endress is 15 while IM Pap is 17, FM Valmana 18, Mihok 15, Mazur 16 and Plaskan 17 years old (Woods' and Yassa's age is not given on the homepage) so it's fair to say that Endress needn't be unhappy about her performance.

There were strong teams of young German and Russian teams - boys and girls - playing each other. In the end, the Russian boys won 17-15 and the Russian girls 19.5-12.5.

Endress' results:

R1: Endress - Cherenkova 1/2
R2: Tarasova - Endress 0-1
R3: Endress - Burtasova 1/2
R4: Vasilkova - Endress 1-0
R5: Cherenkova - Endress 1-0
R6: Endress - Tarasova 1/2
R7: Burtasova - Endress 1-0
R8: Endress - Vasilkova 0-1

So Endress scored 2.5/8 (+1 -4 =3) which looks very disappointing at first glance but now have a look at this:

Anna Endress, born 1993, Elo 2042
versus
WIM Svetlana Vasilkova, born 1988, Elo 2361
WIM Viktoriya Tarasova, born 1989, Elo 2290
WIM Anna Burtasova, born 1987, Elo 2329
WIM Kristina Cherenkova, born 1987, Elo 2282

So Anna played much older opponents (there was only one younger participant than Anna - FM Ivan Bukavshin who was born in 1995) who had a 200 to 300 points higher rating than Anna (240 to 319 to be correct).

With 3.5/7 Endress came in 86th (from 182 players):

R1: GM Berelovich (2557) - Endress 1-0
R2: Endress: - Martin Riexinger 1/2
R3: Andreas Riexinger - Endress 0-1
R4: Endress - IM Zaragatski (2419) 0-1
R5: Peter Thürauf - Endress 0-1
R6: Endress - Thomas Hartmann 1-0
R7: FM Hirn (2214) - Endress 1-0

So Anna didn't lose to a player rated below her and only lost to players rated much higher (more than 200 points minimum).

Round 9 saw her losing to Mongolia's Altanolzii Enxtuul (1977) on board 3: A Enxtuul vs A Endress, 2008 Apparently, her opponent knew the Polish opening much better and Anna spent a lot of time while Enxtuul replied almost instantly. Still, Anna equalized easily but then she sacrificed her knight for two central pawns and everything was over.

She got a rest day in Round 10 (2008.11.23) against Denmark.

In Round 11 she lost her game on board 4 to WIM Zivile Sarakauskiene from Lithuania: Z Sarakauskiene vs A Endress, 2008

Endress played 9 games scoring 3.0 points (+3 -6 =0) with a Rp of 2003. She'll lose 12,0 Elo points (her Elo was 2067).

2007 (December 26 to December 30, play began on Dec-27) in Stuttgart

Endress participated in the U20 Girls’ section on board 1 for the SC Nastätten

R1: Corinna Dietzen (1918) – Endress 0-1
R2: Endress – Nicole Lorenz (1729) 1-0
R3: Johanna Blübaum (1856) – Endress 0-1
R4: Endress – Carmen Beltz (1824) 1-0
R5: Larissa Erben (1937) – Endress ½
R6: Endress – Anna Karmann (1806) 1-0
R7: Franziska Gasch (1908) – Endress 1-0

So Endress scored 5.5/7 (+5 -1 -1) against a rating average of 1854. The SC Nastätten reached 4th place despite being the favourite but Anna can surely be proud of her performance.

2008 (December 26 to December 30, play began on Dec-27) in Arendsee, Altmark

Endress participated in the U20 section on board 3 for the TSV Schott Mainz

7 rounds Swiss, 6 players per team and one reserve player Time control: 2 hours for 40 moves + 30 min for the rest They played two rounds per day on December 27, 28 and 29.

R1: Endress – Benjamin Häusinger (1976) ½
R2: Christian Zemella (2016) – Endress 0-1
R3: Christopher Seifert (2133) – Endress 0-1
R4: Endress – Benedikt Kappe (1985) ½
R5: Blasius Nuber (2073) – Endress ½
R6: Endress – Mario Linsenmeyer (2101) ½
R7: Felix Werthebach (2128) – Endress 1-0

So Endress scored 4.0/7 (+2 -1 =4) against a rating average of 2059 which is very good! The U20 section is the highest section. Despite Anna’s good result, TSV Schott Mainz reached 11th place only (out of 16 teams) but that’s because their lower boards played much weaker).

There was a Blitz tournament on December 30 and TSV Schott Mainz won it. So another success for Anna apart from her good performance in the main event.

Round to round results:

R1: Endress - Rahel Micklich (1779) 1-0

R2: Thuy Nguyen Minh (1862) - Endress 0-1

"...Trotz aller Begeisterung und viel versprechender Aussichten sieht Anna Endreß ihre berufliche Zukunft dennoch nicht im Schachsport: "Damit möchte ich später nicht mein Geld verdienen. Ich will Abitur machen und danach studieren, Jura vielleicht", blickt das Ausnahmetalent voraus."

Seeded fifth, Germany 1 reached third place (behind Germany 2 and Poland).

Rate of play: 90 min for the first 40 moves followed by 30 min for the rest of the game with an addition of 30 s per move starting from move one.

At that time, Anna had an Elo of 2090 and was seeded 29th.

So Anna scored +7 -4 =0 with a rating performance of 2104.

A great result for Anna against such a strong competition only losing to players outrating her. She won against all lower rated players and managed to beat two rating favorites.

It took place in Chemnitz from 2009.12.26 to 2009.12.30.

Time control: 90 min for the first 40 moves followed by 30 min for the rest of the game with an addition of 30 s per move starting from move one.

R7: Nekrasova, Kateryna - Endress 0-1

TSV Schott-Mainz came in second despite being the highest rated team. They lost their match to the later winner SV Stuttgart-Wolfbusch in round 3 with 1-3. Anna was ill and therefore couldn't play but she would have had white and was the heavy rating favorite.

Anna participated in the German U18 Girls' Championship and won with 7.5/9 (+7 -1 =1) ahead of Julia Bochis (same score but worse tie-break score).

The 9 rounds were played between May-23 and May-29 antemeridian (exceptions were the two rounds played on May-23 and May-25 with rounds 2 and 5 in the afternoon). This was a swiss-system tournament.

Time control: 90 min for the first 40 moves followed by 30 min for the rest of the game with an addition of 30 s per move starting from move one.

Anna was the highest rated player and therefore the favourite but it turned out to be a tough fight. Thuy Nguyen Minh could have won the event also but drew in the last round and came in third with 7.0/9.

Anna's round-to-round results (I will always give her opponents's Elo, not the DWZ. Her own Elo was 2107):

R1: Endress - Vanessa Kohm (1768) 1-0

R2: Andrea Mijatovic (1864) Endress 0-1

Time control: 90 min for the first 40 moves followed by 30 min for the rest of the game with an addition of 30 s per move starting from move one.

Draw offers only after move 30.

Results:

R1: Ekaterina Jussupow (2174) - Endress 0-1

R2: Endress - Anna Sharevich (2253) 0-1

R3: Elena Boric (2261) - Endress 1-0

R8: Filiz Osmanodja (2061) - Endress 1-0

R9: Endress - Irina Zakurdjaeva (2280) 0-1

So Anna scored 3.0/9 with +2 =2 -5 against strong opposition.

1. Boric, Elena 6.5
2. Michna, Marta 6.5
3. Zakurdjaeva, Irina 6.5
4. Levushkina, Elena 6.0
5. Dworakowska, Joanna 5.5
6. Sharevich, Anna 5.0
7. Endress, Anna 3.0
8. Troyke, Doreen 2.0
9. Jussupow, Ekaterina 2.0
10. Osmanodja, Filiz 2.0

She underperformed a bit but her results are not bad considering the rating differences (apart from the loss to Osmanodja).
