Unlike her little sister, Anna didn't have a great time here. She was unlucky enough to have to meet Ummi Fisabilillah, a strong and experienced player whose rating didn't match her true ability.
Yeah, usually, playing as a third-seeded, Anna would get an easier pairing in the first round, probably someone around the bottom line of the table. However, this time, she had to face Ummi, the player whom some veterans thought Anna would be before Anna emerged.
Yeah, Ummi was a former prodigy, having been the brightest prospect for the women's chess community in the country after Irene and Medina. It was just unlucky for that woman to lack the resources to play in a better tournament, always mingling with the local one that didn't give her any rating.
However, whenever she played in a rated tournament like this, she was always thriving, showing a glimpse of the genius she was in the past.
