The U.S. team scored 19.5 out of 33 in round 7 of the World Youth Championship (Antalya, Turkey, November 18-22.) Daniel Naroditsky won again, and plays on board one tomorrow against the only other 6.5/7, FM Ulvi Barjarani from Azerbaijan. Other likely medal contenders with four rounds to go are Sarah Chiang, with 6/7 in the Girls Under 10, Brian Luo, with 6/7 in the Boys Under 10 and Ray Robson, with 5.5/7 in the Boys Under 14. You will definitely be able to watch Daniel's game live tomorrow (and probably Sarah's and Brian's also) at 7 AM EST at this link: http://wycc2007.tsf.org.tr/content/view/20/24/lang,en/

In Daniel's game against Han Chao, everything went downhill for the Chinese representative after he allowed Daniel the following tactic:
