by Shahid Ahmed - 26/02/2024

WIM Isha Sharma scored 8/9 to win 2nd Felix Sasomi Under 2200 Rating Tournament 2024. She finished a half point ahead of the competition. After a 4/4 start, Isha lost her fifth round game against 11-year-old Andrei Negrean (ROU). However, Isha bounced back by winning the next four games to become a clear champion. FM Csaba Zoltan Varga (ROU) secured second place 7.5/9, Andrei third, according to tie-breaks. The total prize fund of the tournament was €14000. The top three prizes were €2400 + cup, €1600 and €1200 each respectively. It is not everyday we get to witness a woman winning an open/rating restricted tournament. However, this is the first time in the year 2024, an Indian woman won such an event and it is certainly a matter of great delight. Photos: Margareta Sarivan/CS A-K Rider's Satu Mare
