World Junior Update

After 4 rounds, Aussie George Xie is on 1.5 points. He began his campaign positively holding GM Wang Yue to a draw in round 1. But in round 2, he lost to another grandmaster, Igor Kurnosov. Round 3 was a win against a low-rated opponent but in the last round, George dropped the point again - this time to strong IM Khairullin Ildar.

George's next assignment is Shlykov Vitali (2238) of Estonia.
