Turov moves into sole lead, Suvrajit
Saha hold Grandmaster Thomas Luther
Chennai Open 2010 Champion Grandmaster
Maxim Turov of Russia moved into sole
lead scoring a nice technical win over
Hungarian Grand Master Attila Czebe in
the seventh round of the 2nd SCS
International Open GM Chess Tournament
at Hotel Swosti Premium, Bhubaneswar
here on Wednesday. Second seeded Turov
has 6.5 points and is followed by at the
second place by GMs Martyn Kravtsiv
(Ukraine) and Aleksej Aleksandrov
(Belarus) with 6.0 points each. Twelve
players shared the third position with
5.5 points each, including International
Master Adhiban Baskaran and top seed
Alexey Dreev of Russia.
In a hard fought Ruy Lopez game, Vaibhav
Suri went down to Indian National
Champion Adhiban Baskaran. Conceding a
pawn after four hours of play, Suri
could not survive the Chennai master's
rook ending technique. The Delhi boy
meets GM Dibyendu Barua in the next
round and should do well to keep his
Norm chances.
International Master Suvrajit Saha held
German Grandmaster Thomas Luther in an
interesting Sicilian game. With attack
flowing on both the flanks, the game was
a free for all, until queens were
exchanged. Peace was signed after 37
moves.
In another close match, Grandmaster
Sriram Jha survived a scare when local
star Padmini Rout gave him a run for the
money. GM Norm holder Swayangsu
Satyapragyan drew with Diwakar Prasad
Singh in a game that saw the Orissa star
trying to exploit the unorthodox opening
of his opponent. Try as he did,
Satyapragyan could only obtain a draw.
