Batumi (Georgia): Woman Grandmaster D Harika shot into sole lead after scoring a resounding victory over Tatev Abrahamyan of US in the girls under-18 section of the World Youth Chess Championships.

In under-12 girls’ section, Padmini Rout is also in the lead on 4.5 points while in the under-8 boys category Ch Mohneesh is in top form with a 100 per cent score after five rounds.
