Today Bodhana ( doing well on 2/4 ) comes up against the South African Jack Rudd. I don't believe that game can be viewed.

Bodhana has reached 4/8, an excellent 2276-rated performance against decent opposition, and has so far gained 85 Fide points. She now needs a draw as Black in tomorrow's ninth and final round against GM Thanh Trang Hoang, Hungary's No1 woman, for her second WIM norm.
Not easy, let's see if she makes it.
Budapest shows only the top 20 games live. However, one of those will be Board 15 where GM Dan Fernandez, who has recovered from a slow start with three successive wins to reach 5.5/8, looks to have another winnable game against a 2430-rated IM.
Round 9 starts at 9am BST.

I didn't think a norm was possible with her having only played 1 GM and 1 WGM as well as 5 FMs. Is there a loophole I'm not aware of?

Mea culpa. However, she has apparently passed 2200 during the tournament so has now qualified for the CM title.

According to this report:
https://www.chess.com/news/view/9-year- ... 300-player
In March, the 2013-born Argentinian became the youngest player to ever break 2200 at nine years and three months
.
Wiki says her birthday is March 2015 - Has Bodhana now broken this record?

Yes, great news on the rating front. It is very unlucky to have played 5 FMs (all rated 2288+) but not have a norm chance but another impressive performance all the same.

I'm not sure if this is true, including 4NCL results. She's certainly in excellent form though and gaining valuable experience against strong players in every event.

I really cannot raise any interest in this.
I was very pleased with my own CM title because I knew it was almost certainly the limit of my achievement. Why should Bodhana care about such a lowly target? I hope that when she becomes a GM in a few years, even that will be just a milestone on a path to greater things.

Alex H advises me that her peak rating at this event was 2196 and the last round loss drops her down to 2190.

Until the July rating list is published it's just speculation anyway.

Using the FIDE rating calculator though her round by round rating change appears to be:
2110 +11.6 = 2121.6
2121.6-8 = 2113.6
2113.6 + 27.2 = 2140.8
2140.8 +11.6 = 2152.4
2152.4 -8.8 = 2143.6
2143.6 +28.8 = 2172.4
2172.4 +10.8 = 2183.2
2183.2 +12.4 = 2195.6
2195.6 -5.2 = 2190.4

Bodhana will get there soon enough, the main thing is that she's progressing and hopefully enjoying her chess
