Alisa Melekhina won her last five games!

The World Youth (October19-28 Batumi, Georgia) ended in disappointment as our medal contender, Ray Robson in the U12 lost a tough endgame against Ilya Nyzhnyk from Ukraine. The Indian delegation brought home the most impressive spoils, winning five gold medals (out of 12 possible) and ten medals overall (out of thirty-six).

Alisa Melekhina rallied energetically to come in fourth place. Full report from coach Aviv Friedman on its way. Here is Ray's last round game:
