Young Russian chess players won three medals at the world championship under 14, 16 and 18 years old – Rossiyskaya Gazeta

Alexandra Shvedova became the silver medalist of the world championship among girls under 16 years old, losing the gold to Wang Chuqiao (China).

In a press release from the Russian Chess Federation, Andrei Filatov, President of the Russian Chess Federation, summarized the results of the World Championship in Montesilvano, Italy:

“Yesterday we celebrated the brilliant victory of Alexey Grebnev, and today our young athletes won two silver medals. Congratulations to our boys, their parents and coaches for this magnificent result!

Not long ago, our chess players won the medal table at the World Championship in the youth categories, which took place from October 14 to 27 in Sharm el-Sheikh, and now we have consolidated this record result. In Egypt, children won four medals, in Italy – three. I believe that our boys will continue this successful streak at the Asian Championships to be held in the United Arab Emirates in December, and the adults will take over at the SCO tournament in China and at the World Rapid and Blitz Championships in Samarkand. “
