Medina Aulia in Chess For Girls 2015 - Won by WGM Gunay Mammadzada

Pecatur Medina Aulia Warda yang turut serta dalam program Chess For Girls akhirnya menuntaskan kehadirannya dengan menduduki peringkat ke-5 di tournament tersebut. Ajang Chess For Girls 2015 ini memang sangat luar biasa ceritanya. Ibarat kisah-kisah silat yang sering kita baca, seorang pelatih catur dunia mencari 10 bibit talenta pecatur wanita di seluruh dunia. Kesepuluh pecatur tersebut lalu diundang gratis ke "laboratorium" untuk digembleng secara intensif dengan pelajaran-pelajaran catur. WGM / IM-elected Aulia Warda adalah salah satu dari 10 pecatur yang terpilih. Ajang Chess For Girls 2015 kali ini berlangsung di kota Vienna, Austria. Sebelumnya beberapa kota sudah menjadi tempat berkumpul dan berlatih mereka, yaitu kota Geneva (Swiss) dan Saigon (Vietnam).

Di ajang Chess for Girls 2015 ini juga selain dilakukan pelatihan catur oleh Susan Polgar, juga diselenggarakan turnamen-turnamen, yaitu turnamen Problem Solving, Blitz dan yang paling puncak adalah sembilan rounds turnamen round robin antara kesepuluh pecatur tersebut. Di turnamen puncak tersebut mereka dihadiahi 2,000 euros jika menang. WGM Gunay Mammadzada asal Azerbaijan akhirnya keluar sebagai pemenang. Aulia Warda sendiri ada di peringkat 5 dengan point 4.5/9. Menurut crosstable yang dirilis di sini, Medina mengalahkan IM Khademalsharieh Sarasadat (Iran), WFM Anastasia Bykova (Rusia), WFM Gazikova Veronika (Slovakia) dan WIM Tijana Blagojevic (Montenegro).

Perlu juga diketahui juga, IM Irene Kharisma Sukandar akan segera masuk ke kampus Webster untuk tahun ajaran baru. Universitas Webster ini memang kampus yang paling banyak mahasiswa pecatur dunia, seperti GM Le Quang Liem dan lain-lain. Dengan demikian kedua pecatur wanita top Indonesia sekarang sudah menjadi perhatian dunia dan diharapkan banyak lagi prestasi-prestasi keren yang akan dipersembahkan keduanya.
