By R.Anantharam, Chief
Arbiter - Asian Junior Chess Champioship
Padmini Rout of India
scored her seventh consecutive victory
to remain alone at the top at the end of
the seventh round of the Asian Junior
Girls’ Chess Championship in Colombo,
Sri Lanka today. Ashwin Jayaram, also of
India dropped half a point for the first
time in the tournament to his Kazakhstan
opponent Amanov Zhanibek. He has secured
6.5 points and still managed to stay one
point ahead of Amanov and M.R. Lalith
Babu, another international master from
India.
With two more rounds to go and having
met most of the strong players, it may
not be a problem for Padmini to capture
the tile. The game between Ashwin and
Lalith Babu will be crucial in the
penultimate round and Ashwin, the
defending champion has an edge over the
last year runner up Lalith. In the girls
section, Hejazipour Mitra of Iran and
Soumya Swaminathan of India are on the
second and third spot with 6 and 5
points
