World Youth - Karnataka kids excel in early rounds!

Karnataka's M. Satvik (ELO 1924) justified his top seeding by winning both his
games in the first two rounds in the Under 8 section of the World Youth Championships being held in Batumi, Georgia. He beat Khizanishvili Levan and Jishkaiani Davit (both of Georgia) to log 2/2 points. He now meets another Georgian Iarajuli Tornike in the third round.

Another Karnataka lad Arjun Bharat, also in the Under 8 section, won against Oniani Alexandre of Georgia in the first round but was subsequently held to a draw by compatriot G.H.Jarshavardhan Reddy in the second round. He now plays Georgian Gulashvili Tornike later today.

Mangalore's Adith Jagadish (2162) is doing well so far in the Boys Under 12 section with 2/2 points. He plays American Daniel Naroditsky (2040) in the third round. Asian Gold medallist 2005 Girish Koushik of Mysore is also on 2/2 in the Boys Under 10 section and he plays against Burduli Guga of Georgia in the third round.
