World Cadets Championships - ruairidhmckay - 06-11-2018
Hi all,
Despite some difficulties with airport transport, our 2 representatives Sanjith Madhavan and Ishan Kumar have started very well indeed! Both are without a FIDE rating going into the competition but that is sure to change very soon with the trouble they are causing to highly graded opponents.
Sanjith is in the Open under-12 tournament and has opened with 2 draws - firstly to Jaime Alcon Llosada (Andorra) rated 1715 and then to Matteo Metzdorf (Germany) rated 1865.
Ishan has started impressively as well in the Open under-10 tournament with a loss in Round 1 but then a draw with Juan Esteban Medina (Colombia) rated 1332.
Round 3 was suspended today due to weather conditions.
