2017 Chigorin Memorial Blitz concluded yesterday in St. Petersburg, Russia. Two hundred and fifty players took part in this event, including 14 Grandmasters and 21 International Masters. WIM R. Vaishali (2327) finished 3rd by scoring 09/11 points; in the process, gained 78 elo points due to the performance rating of 2601.

Her coach GM. Ramesh R.B. commented that,”She won Asian Women individual blitz championship recently. Vaishali plays lot of blitz in our academy and has fantastic reflexes. One of the best I would say. I am not surprised that she did well and finished 3rd in Chigorin Memorial. Once her general playing strength improves further, she will be formidable in short forms of the game.”
