Multiple times World Youth Girls Champion, IM Stavroula Tsolakidou (2414 ๐ฌ๐ท) has made a wonderful start and is on course for her GM norm and for the top women's prizes.
She has scored 3.5/5 and is playing Romanian GM Daniel-Bogdan Deac (2603 ๐ท๐ด) in round 6 at #GibChess
Attending the closing ceremony of @FIDE_chess WYCC2018, I was happy to see that European players won 5 gold medals (out of 6) & 13 in total (out of 18). I am also very satisfied that we have reached the level to host youth events in such conditions & playing halls. @riga_niki
