Top seed GM Ghaem Maghami Ehsan of Iran suffered a stunning defeat in the hands of talented Indian Junior Deepan Chakravarthy, when he over pressed a drawish Sicilian game in the third round, here today. Half a point behind Deepan are IM Mark Paragua, IM Sundararajan Kidambi, Peyman Mohajerin, Preetam Sharma and Megaranto Susanto at 2.5 points each. In
the girls Section, the top board game between Y
Prathiba and Dronavalli Harika was a hard fought
game that ended without result when Harika
couldnt convert her extra pawn in an opposite
color bishop ending. The draw enabled defending
Champion Kasturi to take sole lead with a comfortable
victory over Samanthi Wettasinghe of Srilanka.
Eight more rounds remain in the USD 5000 prize
money cum qualifying event, which is scheduled
to conclude on July 5th, 2002.
