10 year kid in Chess Olympics


Sharanya Iyengar at the age of 10 got selected in Kenya's women's team which recently participated in Chess Olympics in Istanbul . Such selection is in itself surprising but still more surprising was her performance as she scored 6/10 points. Maximum for any player from Kenya. She won 4 games ( including one walk over ) and drew 4 games losing only 2 games. Though most of time they were playing lower boards but she got 4 FIDE rated opponents and scored 1.5 / 4 with rating performance of around 1650.
