China are showing their strength as an emerging chess nation with two children, Bu (boys 13-14) and Qian (girls 10-12) playing on the top boards with a perfect score. Other players with a perfect score include Aveskulov of Ukraine (boys 10-12), Hera of Hungary (boys 10-12), Caoili of Philippines (girls 10-12).

In the vital clash between Qian of China and Caoili in the girls 10-12 category, it was the Philippine girl who won through. She went on to win the next two rounds too, maintaining her perfect score. Only Hera of Hungary has managed a similar feat by the end of Round 7.

This afternoon the children have the chance to enjoy Disneyland Paris. Later they will be entertained at the Wild West Show.

The opening - the Sveshnikov variation - is a Hungarian speciality, and Imre Hera played it with great skill. White launched an aggressive pawn charge at the beginning, but Hera countered it easily with a deft knight manoeuvre (18…Nf4). Once the black knight was embedded on this fine outpost, life was always going to be difficult for the Ukrainian. In the end the knight hopped into White’s position and forced a winning rook and pawn endgame.

Arianne Caoili of the Philippines grabbed a pawn early on in the game and hung onto it to force a victory. It wasn’t so simple though: she had to survive some heavy pressure from White first. In particular the white knight on e4 gave her some problems, though the black knight next door on d5 was a rock.

The game appeared to be drifting towards a draw when the Chinese player made a great error. On the 30^th move Black is unable to take the bishop as the white queen will swoop down and give checkmate. Once White had the extra piece the victory took a little time but was quite simple.

 A marathon! Actually Black had a great position after she won the pawn on move 54: she made slow but sure progress in the rook and pawn ending that followed. However the Hungarian girl, playing White, did not make the most of her early chances. Black’s king, wandering over to the queenside did not look too secure.
