29th Tepe Sigeman & Co 2024 R2: Abdusattorov and Arjun play an exciting draw

by Shahid Ahmed - 28/04/2024

The chess universe will have to wait to a little longer to see a decisive game between Nodirbek Abdusattorov (UZB) and Arjun Erigaisi. Arjun was forced to go for perpetual checks to prevent his king getting checkmated by Abdusattorov's queen. Anton Korobov (UKR) and Vincent Keymer (GER) won their second games in-a-row. Korobov showed fantastic positional understanding against Marc` Andria Maurizzi (FRA). Keymer displayed his tactical alertness after getting himself ready for an annihilation on Nils Grandelius' (SWE) kingside. Wenjun Ju (CHN) suffered her second consecutive loss. This time against Peter Svidler. Round 3 starts tomorrow Monday 29th April at 3 p.m. local time, 6:30 p.m. IST. Photo: Mikael Svensson/tepesigemanchess.com
