The 14-year ninth standard girl, who is aspiring for a third GM norm in this category IX 13-round tournament, will take on Hungarian International Master Albert Bokros in the fifth round. Third seeded Yugoslov GM Zlatko Ilincic leads the table with 3.5 points after the fourth round while second seed Ferenc Berkes, Attila Czebe (both Hungary) and Andreas Schenk (Germany) were joint second with 2.5 points each.
