Amisha Parmar is once again representing England, this time in the Under 16 Girls section of the World Youth Championships in Antalya, Turkey.

Round 1 took place on Sunday, with Amisha winning against an unrated Turkish opponent, Gulnur Helin Karagoz. Her second round opponent is somewhat tougher: the 9th seed, Salome Khazhomia of Georgia (Amisha is seeded 34).

Round 2: Amisha lost. I can't tell you who her next opponent is because the web site is currently giving the boys' pairings for Round 3 in error.

Round 3: An Italian – drawn. Round 4 looks easier: a low-rated Turk.

Round 5: A strong WFM opponent proves too much.

Round 6: An unrated Brazilian with the unlikely name Jessica Drobrzenski – drawn: 3/6.

Round 8: Defeat against an Iranian player: 3½/8

Round 9: An unrated player from Qatar, and a win: 4½/9

Round 10: Defeated by one of the many Indian players: 4½/10

Round 11: A pairing that neither player would have wanted – Amisha faced the other English representative, Jessica Thilaganathan. Game drawn; final score: 5/11
