Thematic illustration, not a portrait of the person in the story.

At the 2015 European Youth Championship in Croatia, Ukraine’s Veronika Veremiuk won the Girls U8 section. She scored nine points out of nine. The result is recorded by both the Ukrainian Chess Federation and the European Chess Union.

This is a story about a children’s tournament in 2015. The age-group label describes that event, not Veronika’s age today. Nine out of nine means nine wins in nine games: a chess win is worth one point.

Pause and think

Work it out: how many points do two wins and two draws earn? Answer: 3. Your own tournament may have a different score and still offer an interesting position to learn from.
