Karavade Qualifies for IM Title

By Arvind Aaron

Eesha Karavade of Pune qualifies for International Master title after she scored two victories in the Championship International de Paris 2009 to reach the stipulated 2400 rating mark after only two of the nine rounds at Paris.

Rated 2386, Eesha Karavade, presently a Woman Grand Master has qualified to become an International Master when she crossed the 2400 rating mark. In the opening round, she overcame Manuel Maleki (2266) with the white pieces. Lucky to play white again, Eesha upset Yaroslav Zherebukh (2541) to reach 2/2 and cross the 2400 rating mark with seven rounds still to be played.

Eesha is 1987-born and ranked 83 among women in the world. She is at her all-time rating peak after taking a small hit in early 2008. In the next list, Eesha, presently listed as a Woman Grand Master by FIDE will be shown as a men International Master. She is ranked 17 among Asia in women.
