With an extraordinary comeback, Tatiana Kosintseva won the 10th European Championship!
After not a good start, with 1 win and 3 draws, and after a bad loss in the 7th round, Tatiana Kosintseva had a 4 straight wins to grab the first place and the tie-breaks, that she clearly won (1 win with the black and 1 draw with the white) playing againts Lilit Mkrtchian!!
Great job Tatiana!!!!!!!
