Nitin &
Vishnu upset GMs, Yu Ruiyuan in sole lead
By R.R.Vasudevan
Yu Ruiyuan of China led the table with 8.5 points after the
tenth and penultimate round of the SDAT – RMK 4th Chennai Open
2012 International Grandmaster Chess Tournament, at Multipurpose
Indoor Stadium, Periamet, Chennai here today. Sharing the second
spot with 8.0 points were top seed Aleksandrov Aleksej
(Belarus), defending champion Kravtsiv Martyn (Ukraine),
Akshayraj Kore (India) and Marat Dzhumaev (Uzbekistan)
respectively.
The top board game between Indian International Master Akshayraj
Kore and Grandmaster Aleksandrov Aleksej (Belarus) turned out to
be an interesting fare. The Queens Gambit game saw both the
players exchanging major pieces within the first twenty moves.
Well into a triple minor piece ending, Akshayraj thwarted all of
Aleksandrov tricks and draw was agreed after 36 moves.
In the upsets of the day, Indian players hogged the limelight
with Senthilvel Nitin and Vishnu Prasanna scoring over
Grandmasters Bitoon Richard (Philippines) and Neelotpal Das
(India) respectively. The lone achiever of the day turned out to
be Ma Qun of China who made his International Master Norm.
The all important final round is scheduled for tomorrow.
