21st BCC Open 2024 R5-6: Ritviz Parab and Harsh Suresh in the chase

by Peter Long - 19/04/2024

15-year-old Qinfeng Cao (CHN), IM Arystanbek Urazayev (KAZ) and GM Vitaliy Bernadskiy (UKR) are the three leaders at 21st BCC Open 2024. They all have scored 5.5/6. Six players including two Indians - IM Ritviz Parab and IM Harsh Suresh are at 5/6 each. GM Timur Gareyev won the Blitz Final scoring 11.5/15. GM Pranesh M also scored the same. However, his first round loss against Gareyev cost him the championship. Vitaliy finished third 10/15. Check out the Round 5-6, Blitz report along with Sponsor dinner and Photoshoot photos, written by Peter Long. Round 7 starts at 2:30 p.m. local time, 1 p.m. IST. Photos: FM FT IA Peter Long

The 21st BCC Open 2024 enters the final three rounds. While IM Arystan Urazayev (KAZ), GM Vitaliy Bernadskiy (UKR), and 2038 rated junior Qingfeng Cao (CHN) are the leaders with 5.5/7, they are closely followed by GM Zong-Yuan Zhao (AUS), FM Pham Tran Gia Phuc (VIE) and CM Dinh Nho Kiet (VIE), FM Dmitriy Danilenko (UKR), IM Ritviz Parab and FM Harsh Suresh are on 5/8.

15-year-old Qingfeng Cao (CHN) is one of the three leaders at 5.5/6

But the real excitement of the day was the side events - the traditional photo shoot in the morning and the sponsor dinner in the evening which sandwiched round seven on top of the blitz final the previous day and the start of the Makruk international competition today!
