Defending champions India maintained the winning spree
defeating hosts Turkey 2.5-1.5 in the fourth round
of the World Youth Chess Olympiad at Turkey on Sep 27.
With this latest win, India moved to 13.5 points from
possible 16. Importantly, we have won all four matches
and have reached eight points, the maximum possible for
a team.
Convincing victories came from the top with both K.
Priyadharshan of Madurai and Debashis Das of
Cuttack. Howver, in the bottom board, Girish Koushik of
Mysore was defeated in a rook ending.
That left the match to be decided on Aditya Udeshi's
third board. From a better position the Mumbai National
Sub-Junior champion slid to a difficult position and
finally made a thrilling draw to help India defeat
Turkey 2.5-1.5.
Five rounds remain to be played in this 22-team 9 rouns
Swiss contest. India had won this event in Singapore
2007 and Turkey 2008 and this reasons for the big
expectations.
