Sethuraman strikes Gold, Vidit Gujrathi, Ivana Maria Furtado & Karthikeyan Murali clinch Silver, Bronze for Sai Krishna & Saranya

International Master SP Sethuraman clinched the Gold medal in the Under 16 category edging fellow Indian Vidit Santosh Gujrathi in the tie-breaks at the World Youth Chess Championship, Antalya, Turkey. Both finished with 9.0 points from eleven, a clear full point ahead of the next placed participant, indicating their dominance in this event.

National Under 11 Champion Karthikeyan Murali performed when it mattered clinching the silver medal with 9/11 performance in the Open Under 10 section. Tying for the first spot with two Chinese, Karthikeyan took the second spot on tie-breaks.

FIDE Master G V Sai Krishna continued with his impressive show taking the bronze medal in Open Under 14 category with 8.5/11 score. Grandmaster Elect Cori Jorge (2462) of Peru took the Gold in this section, while Silver went to Polish boy Dragun Kamil.

Experienced Woman Candidate Master Ivana Maria Furtado settled for silver in the Under 10 Girls category with a final score of 8.5 points. A further bronze for J Saranya (8.5)  in the Under 14 Girls section warmed the hearts of Indian women contingent, even as the trio of Bansi Prathima, Lasya Goli and CH Meghna finished fourth, trifle unlucky in missing the medal in their respective Groups.
