Diptayan Ghosh upsets GM Barbosa
Oliver, Aleksandrov shares lead
By R.R.Vasudevan
13 year old FIDE Master Diptayan Ghosh stunned Grandmaster
Barbosa Oliver of Philippines in the third round of the SDAT –
RMK 4th Chennai Open 2012 International Grandmaster Chess
Tournament, at Multipurpose Indoor Stadium, Periamet, Chennai
here today.
Top seed Grandmaster Aleksandrov Aleksej shared the lead with
3.0 points along with 16 players including Grandmasters
Oleksienko Mikhailo (Ukraine), S P Sethuraman, Neelotpal Das
(both India), John Paul Gomez (Philippines), Hoang Thanh Trang
(Hungary) and International Masters M R Venkatesh, M S Thejkumar,
Himanshu Sharma (all India) among others.
Grandmaster Aleksandrov Aleksej faced the Queens Indian defence
employed by Swayams Mishra in the top board. Exerting pressure
early in the game, Aleksandrov exhibited superior middle game
play forcing a zug zwang on Mishra. Facing a drowning position
and a heavy material loss, Mishra resigned on the 39th move.
In the upset of the day, Bengal lad Diptayan Ghosh put it across
Grandmaster Oliver Barbosa of the Philippines in a dynamic Slav
game. Grabbing the initiative, after the end of the theoretical
debate, Diptayan went for an all out attack on the kingside.
Sacrificing a knight on the 21st move, the Indian teenager
ripped open Barbosa's kingside and clinched the issue with a
flurry of attack. Facing checkmate, the Philippino gave up after
34 moves.
