28.06.2010, round 6

Unexpectedly girls occupied top places in the current standing of the championship under 14 + 16 years.

With only one round left 2 girls are in front of the chasing pact - those are former girls world champion Anna Styazhkina and Denitza Dragieva, who made draw in the direct meeting.

And if Anna's performance is foregoned, Denitza is impressing with her play. Her success is not casual: 2 years ago she earned bronze medal in the bulgarian championship and finished 11th later that year in the european championship in her age group. But this was just the beginning - followed by new good results at both children and major open tournaments.

This year she's already won the national title under 14 years and not long ago she finished 3rd in the world amateur championship. On 28th June she read a lecture on european champion Anna Vaseninna. Take a look at the game:
