Three stories, three different achievements and room for your first move
Ukrainian chess has remarkable childhood and teenage stories. Veronika Veremiuk won the European Girls U8 event in 2015. Oleksii Nakonechnyi won the World Cadet Rapid Open U10 title in 2024. Ihor Samunenkov received the grandmaster title in 2023.
These are different achievements: winning an age group, winning at a particular time control and earning an international title. The following stories name the year and competition so that they stay distinct. Even a short news item deserves the question: which event was it?
Pause and think
Check your understanding: whose story is about rapid chess? Whose is about a title? The first paragraph gives you the clues. Then open the separate article about the player whose story interests you.
