Grace Xu wins Girls 10-13 Championship Armageddon Game
In the Armageddon tiebreak game to decide the 2017 CONIC Girls 10-13 champion, Grace Xu (pictured above) chose White and 25 minutes, thereby putting herself in a must-win situation. Win she did, with a nice kingside attack against Sheena Zeng (pictured below), who had the black pieces and just 10 minutes, but also had draw odds. Congratulations to both Grace and Sheena!
