Folks,
This is the final round today and I have been following the games on the excellent tournament website.

When you have some time, I invite you to look through all the games of Carolina Espinosa. At this Under 8 level pinnacle event it basically comes down to who can make the least serious errors. I have been so impressed by how much Carolina's basic play has improved as the tournament has progressed and great credit is due to her coaching team.
In the past the worry has been that if we send very young juniors to this level of event, they will be humiliated and give up the game completely. I think Carolina has put those thoughts to rest forever.
When you look through the games, please remember, this wee girl is only 6 !
