Round 2: Nightmare for the Top Seed |
Mamedov Tackled by Sanikidze
Upsets did not end in the second round of World Junior Championship 2008 as Rauf Mamedov, the top seed made a fingerfehler to lose a pawn on the sixth move against Tornike Sanikidze while Davit Baramidze had to be content with a draw against Roman Nechepurenko. Many intersting games were played but probably the most elegant by Zhigalko.
In the Junior Girls Section, Harika and Muzychuk won their games as Majdan with a nice sacrifice. The Turks Betül Cemre Yıldız (against Sarah Hoolt) and Kübra Öztürk (against Atousa Pourkashiyan) won and remained with perfect score.
