Chess blog for latest chess news and chess trivia (c) Alexandra Kosteniuk, 2012
Hi everyone,
Grandmaster Aleksej Aleksandrov of Belarus has taken sole lead after three rounds at the The Delhi Chess Open with a super victory over International Master K Rathnakaran in the third round. The Belarus Grandmaster has perfect score.
There are 16 players in second place at half-point behind. These include Grandmasters Marat Dzhumaev of Uzbekistan, Lu Shanglei of China, Raset Ziatdinov of United States, Niaz Murshed of Bangladesh and Indian Grandmasters M R Lalith Babu, Magesh Panchanathan and Sahaj Grover.
Top seed Abhijeet Gupta meanwhile was held to a second draw in the tournament. The beneficiary was Ram S Krishna who had to defend a slightly worse endgame for a long time. Earlier it was a Catalan opening by Gupta that gave him a slight advantage which was not enough for a victory in the end.P Magesh Chandran caught Himanshu Sharma unawares in the opening itself and got a clear better position sooner than he had expected. “It was quite easy once I got better prospects, Chandran said after the game.
