Saturday's Report from Indai

On line problems today have prevented me from getting all of the games of interest to me. We will have to settle for just the results from Saturday’s play.

At the top: Grandmasters Hovhannisyan and Swiercz drew on board one. Hovhannisyan maintains his lead at 9 points. Swiercz and Ter-Sahakyan, who also drew, are in second place at 8 ½ points. GM Ray Robson of the US drew a long battle with GM Sethuraman of India in 71 moves. Robson, FM Kovalev, BLR, GM Durabeyli, AZE and GM Adhiban, IND are tied for 4th through 7th places.

Tomorrow’s pairings are:

Board one; Hovhannisyan - Robson
Board two; Ter-Sahakyan - Swiercz
Board three; Kovalev - Durabeyli
Board four; Adhiban - Grover (7½)

Farther down the list, Deepak won his game against the Indian player Yashas, 2184 to reach 4 ½ points. Tomorrow he plays White against Pandya Karma (2136) of India. He is the 19th ranked under 16 in the country. It should be an interesting game.
