Mariya Zakharchenko(Korean insei)


Maria is 16 years old Ukrainian girl, who stayed in Korea for several years as a student of vic1000 on KGS (Chun Pungjho, 8p). She is in Kiev currently, but plans to return back to Korea and study Go again after 2 months
but , of course, she is much stronger now. Maria played her last rated EGF tournament in 2009.

She plays as baduk1 on WBaduk and has 18-2 score.

We played each other yesterday (during my simultaneous on 3 boards) and I was suprised to see her current level. It seems that she is not weaker than other Ukrainian 4-6d players. Artem (artem92 on KGS) is of course stronger, but I don't think that other Ukrainian players can beat her easily.

Svetlana Shikshina (redrose on KGS) started to learn Go in Korea as an insei at the age of 17 (as Russian 4-5d). Maria started 2-3 years earlier as 1d. 
As you know, it's very important to start early! I feel that in few years Maria can improve a lot and she can become a hard opponent even for top European male players!

About our game: Black was too much afraid of me, it seems. I saw too many defensive moves. But anyway, it was not an easy game for me.

You can learn more about Maria by adding her as a friend on Facebook:
