European Schools Chess Championship 2015
UPDATE
Konya - Turkey
Amardip reached 5/7 which gave him a chance of a medal if he could win his last two games. In Round 8 he was paired with white against an 1895 rated Moldovan player. Amardip played aggressively with the Moller attack variation of the Italian Game. He could have gained an edge but unfortunately chose an inferior recapture on move 18 and his opponent converted the material advantage.
His last round was tough with Black against a 1950 local player and he finished the tournament on 5/9 a good score in this field.

Crowborough Junior Amardip is representing England at this prestigious event. Amardip is just 11 years old but due to the European rules working on calendar years not school years he is playing in the Under 13s.
You can follow his progress at the ESCC2015 website.
Amardip has got off to a good start winning his first two games in this nine round tournament.
