Last year she won the title of World Chess Champion in her age category. Our correspondents from Kyiv met this unusual girl. <br /><br />There's just no stopping 12-year-old Ukrainian Yulia Osmak. Last year she clinched top spot in the World Chess Championship and she recently came in first at the Ukrainian Miracle Child Awards. <br /><br />[Yulia Osmak, World Chess Champion]: <br />"At first I cried because it was hard to realize that I am a world champion, and I thought that if I became a champion, everybody would stop making friends and socializing with me - but they didn't, and interaction got even better. I am very happy because of that." <br /><br />Yulia says her greatest challenge is to beat the Indians and Russians in the game. <br /><br />Last year at the European Chess Championship she came in second after her rival from Russia. <br /><br />[Yulia Osmak, World Chess Champion]: <br />"Russians play very quietly and never walk into a risky situation or "continuation" in chess terms. This could be considered a kind of weakness. They don't do well when in a dynamic position in which they can be beaten." <br /><br />Yulia's trainer says an active game is to his student's advantage. <br /><br />[Leonid Borodin, Chess Trainer]: <br />"She has a very unique style, a dynamic style. Maybe she plays a little worse in a closed position. But if she arranges her pieces well and the battle begins, there is no need to worry." <br /><br />Support from her relatives and her desire to be first is Yulia's main incentive to win. <br /><br />[Yulia Osmak, World Chess Champion]: <br />"I am very excited to win, if someone plays better than me, especially girls. Boys are ok. But the girls - this should not be allowed! I should be better than all the girls around."
