Congratulations to GM Lubabalo Kondlo (South Africa), who first won the US Nationals 2017 and then also the WCDF Qualifier 2017.
With this fine victory he won the right to challenge World Champion Michele Borghetti (ITA) in 2018. Overall he showed the most consistent performance with the highest tiebreaker and no ups and downs and surely deserved his triumph.

Maybe his lifelong dream of becoming World Champion could come true and a new final chapter to "King Me" should be filmed...?

Congratulations to Alex Moiseyev (USA), who at last miraculously managed to tie for 1st place, but
his tournament was a story of ups and downs, not quite consistent enough to prevail.

Congratulations to Melikaya Nonyukela (South Africa) who also tied for 1st place, but lost to Lubablo in Round one. One bad move may have made the difference, but maybe not next time!

Very strong performances were also made by Ron King (Barbados), Maxwell Luntonti (South Africa) and Matteo Bernini (Italy), who managed to stay undefeated, but were a bit unlucky with the pairings and surely should have made higher places.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In a match that was played for the best of 10 games,Elia won the first game and went ahead, but after a hard fought draw Tanya fought back and won game three. After game four also ended in a hard fought draw, Tanya took the lead by wining the fifth game.
Tanya went on to take the last two games to clinch the title by 12-4, winning five games, losing one, with two games drawn.

This is the first time a girl wins the junior title, and the first time the title went to the Ukraine. Congratulations
.
Also congratulations to Elia, who according to referee Alex Moiseyev deserved to win more then one game, but maybe next time he will prevail.
