Gandhinagar: Woman Grandmaster Divya Deshmukh emerged as the sole leader with 4.5 points after a convincing win over Azerbaijan's Narmi Abdinova in the World Juniors Girls Chess Championship here on Thursday.
Deshmukh registered a landslide victory over Abdinova, the sole overnight leader. The English opening by Divya might have been a minor surprise and Abdinova decided to take control of things early.
However, this meant a permanent dent in the queenside pawn structure and Azerbaijan believed it still had chances due to some of the tactical complexities to come.
As things turned, the queenside ignored Black's counterplay on the queenside and moved for the king, sacrificing a knight in the process and soon, Black's king was left gasping for breath to reach the fourth rank. Started.It was checkmate on the board in just 28 moves.
Grandmaster Pranab Anand made a comeback in the reckoning by scoring on Anuj Srivatri in a long-drawn endgame, which he clearly knows better than his opponent.
Colombia's Jose Gabriel Cardoso Cardoso now leads Kazakhstan's Kazybek Nogirbek with 4.5 points out of a possible five. Pravan Anand is right behind him with 4 points and six rounds are still to be played in the competition that decides the best under-20 player in the world.
The game between Jose Gabriel and Mayank Chakraborty ended in a draw within a short time.or ah
