Vachier-Lagrave, Soumya win World Junior

It was a very fateful final day at the World Junior in Argentina. French GM and top seed Maxime Vachier-Lagrave worked hard to win his final game and catch the leading Sergei Zhigalko from Belarus to take Gold and the title on tiebreak. In the women’s section there was even greater drama. One player missed a special $33,000 prize by a few tiebreak points. Final round report.
