Maxim Turov shares lead, Vaibhav Suri
holds two Grandmasters to draw in a
two-round day
In the last two round day, 13 year old
Delhi boy Vaibhav Suri (2347) continued
to impress holding GMs Vorobiov Evgeny
(2612) and Hera Imre Jr (2558) at the
2nd SCS International Grandmaster Chess
tournament, Bhubaneswar. Playing fours
Grandmasters in a row in a Open
tournament is no mean show, and drawing
with three of them and defeating a GM is
a dream performance. That is how it has
been going for this talented lad. With a
rating performance of Elo 2519 Vaibhav
is in line for a Grandmaster Norm, if he
keeps going this way.
The fifth and sixth round saw the top
seed Russian Grandmaster being held to
fighting draws by GMs Aleksej Alexandrov
and Zoltan Varga in contrasting games.
Fellow Russian Grandmaster Maxim Turov
continued his hold on top with a fluent
black victory in the morning against
Uzbek Grandmaster Marat Dzhumaev. Turov
comfortably drew his afternoon game
against GM Anton Kovalyov of Argentina.
Chennai Open 2010 winner Turov shares
the lead with 5.5 points along with
Hungarian Grandmaster Czebe Attila.
Seven Grandmasters along with
International Master Atanu Lahiri share
the third spot with 5.0 points. Further
half a point down at 4.5 points were a
bunch of Grandmasters including top seed
Alexey Dreev.
