Vaibhav Suri shares lead,
Debashis Das upsets GM Bitoon Richard
By R.R.Vasudevan
Talented Delhi lad Vaibhav Suri beat local challenger Vishnu
Prasanna and moved into joint lead after the sixth round of the
SDAT – RMK 4th Chennai Open 2012 International Grandmaster Chess
Tournament, at Multipurpose Indoor Stadium, Periamet, Chennai
here today. Vaibhav Suri leads the table with 5.5 points, along
with GMs Aleksandrov Aleksej (Belarus) and Oleksienko Mikhailo
(Ukraine) and untitled Chinese strongman Yu Ruiyuan
respectively. Behind the leaders were GMs Kravtsiv Martyn
(Ukraine), S P Sethuraman (India), Gomez John Paul
(Philippines), Ziaur Rahman (Bangladesh) and Hoang Thanh Trang
(Hungary) at 5.0 points in a group of eleven players.
Seeded players were less harassed, even as Orissa lad Debashis
Das emerged as the lone GM conqueror. The Queens Gambit game saw
Richard in an aggressive mood, as he pushed his kingside pawns
for an all out attack. An unsuccessful middle game combination
by Richard saw him going down by a piece, as Debashis defended
accurately. Unable to press further Richard resigned on the 25th
move.
The top board game between young Uzbek International Master
Jahongir Vakhidov and top seed Grandmaster Aleksej Aleksandrov
ended in favor of the Russian. The Nimzo Indian game saw
Vakhidov playing it safe, while higher seeded Aleksandrov kept
pressurizing on the kingside for initiative. Taking further
risks put Vakhidov in a precarious position, as Aleksandrov the
open white position to his advantage with some precise play. The
young IM from Uzbekistan called it quits as he faced the loss of
material along with a mating attack.
Five more rounds remain in this 11 round Swiss event that
concludes on 12th January, 2012.
