TePe Sigeman & Co 2021 R7: Nihal finishes with a draw against Short
Nihal Sarin scored 3.0/7 to finish at shared sixth place in TePe Sigeman & Co Tournament 2021. It goes without saying that Nihal was not in his best form in this event. He managed to make a draw with the legendary Nigel Short in the final round. Gawain Jones became the only player to beat the tournament champion, Jorden van Foreest, still the Netherlands no.2 managed to finish a full point ahead of the field. Short, Jones and Keymer shared the second place 4.0/7. Nils Grandelius finished at sole fifth place 3.5/7, Nihal and Bacrot shared sixth position and Jonas Buhl Bjerre had a tough tournament 1.5/7.

Keymer - Grandelius: 1-0
Vincent Keymer (GER) got a fantastic position in the middlegame against Nils Grandelius (SWE).
Position after 23.Rfe1
The knight at d6 is a thorn in Black's territory. To get rid of it, Black played 23...Bxc4 24.Nxc4 Rae8 and White replaced the knight with a pawn 25.d6. Eventually the pawn wedge played a crucial role in White getting the victory.
