INTERNATIONAL MASTER VLADIMIR BARSKY PREPARED A REVIEW OF THE FIRST ROUND OF THE WORLD JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP.
Review of the first round of any major championships usually begins with phrases such as “favourites
confirmed their reputation, though not without surprises.” But the world Junior Championships is
not the usual “Swiss”, and the show of young talents from all over the world. Talents, as you knows,
are developing as not systemically: someone who can show themselves and in 14-15 years, some
closer to 20; the increase in rating in the Junior men’s 100 points for the year are common.
Therefore, the tenacious struggle in Khanty-Mansiysk from the first round began on almost tables.
Suffice it to say that in the championship, the top chesschessmasters Aulia Medina Warda
(Indonesia) and Dinara Sadvakasova (Kazakhstan) in girls section lost to the Russian chessmasters
Karina Ivanova and the Peruvian Paula Paredes Bustamante. In the open section GM Cori Jorge
(Peru, Elo 2637) lost to the Brazilian Vitor Carneiro (2405), and lost the case: got worse on debut and
failed to defend an inferior position. Elo-favorite Jan-Krzysztof Duda (Poland) also faced difficulties
who was White with Micractinium Iskandarova. Azerbaijani Junior has developed a dangerous attack
on the King, but hesitated, and Polish grandmaster, repulsed the assault, started a counterattack.
