Youth European Championships Renju

Today, let’s see how the girls played

Ants Soosyrv says.

There were only two participants in the D group (15 women) – Julia Savrasova and Helen Milva, and therefore they have been added to the C 6 group of players (up to 15 women), and they are played in a round-robin.

The fact that the two bands played together, but with different ages, affect the final result of the tournament (Evelin Tikan get the best results against the enemies of their own group), but I believe that the union was right.

In Group C, the main favorite moggla be Oksana Sorokina, which plays well in the men’s tournament. For two consecutive years, in 1999 and 2000, she received a ticket in the Russian championship in the first league to the big leagues. In tournaments, girls and women, it remains a bit in the shadow of the famous players of his village Podugi – Lebedeva, Savrasova and Metreveli.

Anastasia Leshukova from Rybinsk also performed quite well. Medal contenders were, no doubt, as Maris Tuvikene, Evelin Tikan and Anastasia Sokolova.

The tournament was very equally competitive, much more exciting than boys tournament. Games often lasted until the last minute monitoring time, and in some cases even up to the last seconds.

Evelyn had a successful start, winning the Maris and then Anastasia Leshukova, Esther Eggert and Helen. At the same time Oksana made a draw with Leshukova and Julia, Esther won in a very challenging game and Helen. By the time Leshukova already given two points, in addition to a loss and a draw against Evelyn Oksana, also made a draw with Julia. But the dramatic game was between cases and Maris, which was completed by the delay time at Maris.

In the fifth round, Evelyn, as the main favorite, was playing with his nearest presledovatelnitsey Oksana. Evelyn came out of the opening, playing with white, with a certain advantage, but then everything went very badly, gave her opponent the initiative and in the end, making a few mistakes, lost.

In the sixth round, the three leaders were there and so everything had to be decided in the matches in the final round between Oksana and Maris and Evelyn and Julia. Maris, which has already lost Julia, fought only for fourth place, but fought well. Oksana could not stand the psychological pressure and lost. While Evelyn came out of the opening with a good attitude, and could easily make the game a draw. But she was not able to do it, Julia received a point from a completely empty positions and retained the top spot in Group C for Oksana, because she was better than Evelyn factor.

Leshukova finally reached the leaders and had the same coefficient of Evelyn. But winning the game between a given second place, Evelyn.

In Group D, there could be no intrigue. Perhaps Julia has not played the most successful variants may not be played in the middle of the game the most skillfully, but due to lack of time in the endgame she played safely and skillfully. In this respect it is a good example for many men.

Well, in the end, a little bit about the last Junior Championship in 2015 in Istanbul.

And again a stir podyuzhane! Olga Kurdina (girls up to 24 years), Kyra Lasko (girls 13 – 17 years), Ksenia Matushkina (girls under 13 years old) – champions !.
