19-year-old Ukraine Grand Master Martyn
Kravtsiv (7.5) moved into sole lead with
7.5 points, with an upset over leader
Maxim Turov in the ninth round of the of
the 2nd SCS International Open GM Chess
Tournament at Hotel Swosti Premium,
Bhubaneswar. Turov, along with eight
other GMs and Indian IM B Adhiban shared
the second place with seven points each.
Five Norms - one GM Norm, one WGM Norm,
three IM Norms - were made in an
eventful day.
Delhi school boy Vaibhav Suri stole the
show as he shocked Bangladesh GM Enamul
Hossain to secure his maiden GM norm. He
also became an IM, getting his third and
final norm in the process. Showing litle
nerves, Vaibhav converted a tiny
advantage arising in the French game. He
later gained a pawn in the minor pieces
ending to defeat Enamul Hossain, gaining
his maiden Grandmaster Norm.
Local star Padmini Rout she stunned
Hungarian GM Zoltan Varga, making her
third and final WGM Norm. Padmini
becomes the second WGM of Orissa after
Kiran Manisha Mohanty. Andhra lad G V
Sai Krishna upset Brazilian GM Alexandr
Fier making his second successive IM
Norm. Also making their IM Norms were
Abu Sufian Shakil and Ticia Gara.
