Cua beats Paehtz


Sherily Cua (2143) sparked some fireworks -- in her tandem with GM Mark Paragua (2526) -- in the Chess Pair Blitz Mixed category of the 1st World Mind Sports Games in Beijing, China.

Highlighting Cua's participation in the event was her victory over the famous IM Elisabeth Paehtz (2471) of Germany in the 9th round.

Cua earlier demolished a higher-rated opponent in the name of English IM Jovanka Houska (2399) in the 2nd round where she and Paragua blanked England (2-0).

Cua and Paragua, however, failed to advance to the semi-final round.
