In the U15 Open category seven players share the first place with 2,5 points. WFM Adriana Pachon (COL) has the first place in the U15 Girls category. In one of the interesting games of this category, Kardelen Cemhan beat her opponent Olta Caka with a knight sacrifice followed by a mate in move 20.
Three players share the first place with full point in the U13 open category. On the first board Cemil Can Ali Marandi, one of young Turkish FMs, chose a passive but solid continuation against his opponent Vasilyev Vasily's 1.d4. Vasily played the opening rather fast, which shows he had experience in this line. Particularly worth noting was white's 17.c5! move. This move seems to weaken the d4 pawn and leaving the d5 square to black but it leaves the b7 bishop passive and achieves a spatial advantage on the queenside. Cemil Can's answer to this plan wasn't late. He returned his bishop to c8 and with the move e5, he reactivated his white-squared bishop, taking advantage of white queen and rook being on the same diagonal, on squares e4 and d3. When the complications was over, black was a pawn up in a rook bishop endgame and he managed to turn his advantage into a full point. After three rounds 2 players share the first place in the U13 girls category.
