2016 World Cadet Results

2016 World Cadets
October 19-30, 2016
Batumi, Georgia

The 2016 World Cadet Chess Championship ended today in Batumi, Georgia. This is the younger half of what used to be the World Youth Chess Championship. 722 players from around the world competed in one of six 11-round Swiss tournaments to decide World Champions in six sections: both Open and Girls in three age groups U8, U10, U12.

Overall, India won the most medals, with 1 silver and 3 bronze. The US had two gold and one silver, and Russia won two gold and one bronze.

15 Canadians played. Going into the final round, two were in medal contention. Nameer Issani (U10) had 7.5/10, and a win would have put him in a multi-way tie for 2nd, though poor tie-breaks after a round 2 loss would probably have kept him off the podium. Instead, he drew and finished =5th-9th (9th on TB).

Anthony Atanasov also had 7.5/10 going into the last round, but had been playing on top boards after his 5.5/6 start and so had the second-best tie breaks in the U8 section. He also drew his last-round game -- pushing for 130 moves! -- to finish 1/2 a point off the podium in a tie for 5th-9th (5th on TB).
