[ The result is a draw. A commendable result in GiLoCatur's opinion. So, who is Nabila's next opponent? An Indonesian player named Chkartina Gerhana who has FIDE ratings of 2082. A tough opponent for Nabila GiLoCatur believes because Chkartina won the Highest Placed Female and Best FIDE Performance U2200 in last year Hastings Masters. She also earned her WIM norm in the tournament. 

Below are her two games in the tournament.

The rivalry between Nabila and Medina from Indonesia who both play in the Girls U20 category will start immediately in the first round in the 12th Asean+ Age Group Chess Championship. Two years ago in Vietnam, Medina emerged champion in the 10th edition. During then they played in the Girls U12 category. Medina defeated Nabila in the sixth round playing white.  Last year in Subic Philipppines, Nabila did not take part while Medina began to play in the Girls U20 division. 

Below is their game two years ago. Surely, their games mature and improve further. GiLoCatur hopes both of them will become the chess icons in future and the proud chess players of their respective countries and the South East Asia region.
