Our genious chess player Deysi Cori (ELO 2374) continues her path to the Under-16 title at Chess Young World Championship.
She defeated Ucranian Yuliya Shvayger, to reach 8.5 points in nine games played in Turkey.
If she wins today, we will have a new world champion.
Yesterday victory was very important for Deysi because it came along with a draw between Azerbaijan Qizi Nizami y la Georgian Meri Arabidze, and are now 1.5 points behind Cori.
She may be crowned world champion if she defeats Georgian Mariam Danelia, also with 7 points. Even more, Cori could win the title with a draw if Nizami and Arabidze don’t win today.
Deysi, 2008 Under-15 Schoolgirl World Champion, is unbeaten at Turkey with eight wins and one draw.

Is she the sister of the GM Cori?
Yes, she is Jorge Cori’s sister. And she has already won the crown!
I was following the today game through the official website and I didn’t expect such an ‘easy’ win. Congrats Deysi!!
We’re following right now the last round of the WYCC, which is decisive for the youngest peruvian GM Jorge Cori’s fate.
He was 1/2 point behind Poland’s Kamil Dragun… and Dragun just has lost his game!!
Jorge Cori scores 8 points and if he wins this tight game against dutch Benjamin Bok (7 1/2 points), would mark 9 points – unreachable for no one else. So he’s next to get the crown too!
Go Jorge!
Congrats Jorge! Got the crown after 55 moves. Great endgame.
If the Cori Brothers keep this path… OMG
