Abdulla Gadimbayli and Govhar Beydullayeva win World Junior Championships

World Junior Championship - Open

Before the last round, Adam Kozak from Hungary had 8.0/11 and was half a point ahead of the new World Champion Gadimbayli - and a last-round-draw would have been enough for Kozak to win the title. But the Hungarian faltered just before the finish line when he failed to save a worse but tenable ending against Leon Luke Mendonca from India.
