Yay! for Koneru for finishing 6th. Plus, she won her first game against GM Predojevic in their 5-6th place match.
Maxime is one of our most talented player here in France ! I saw him playing several times, very concentrated, always serious. I hope he’ll reach other successes without depriving him from other life pleasures.
