Alisa Melekhina
1852 But Alisa isn't done yet! With 4 more rounds left to go she is very much in contention for her WGM and IM norms. A win and three draws would secure her IM norm. She still has to face tournament co-leader FM Mehmed Pasalic who is on pace to earn his third and final IM norm. That clash will take place on Thursday night, but for now Alisa must contend with the other young lady in the tournament - Canadian WFM Yuanling Yuan, who scored a victory over FM Dennis Monokroussos in round five. 1851 ![]()
