Sardinia Festival 2024 R2: Fedoseev escapes with a half point against Haldorsen
28/04/2024 -IM Benjamin Haldorsen (NOR) got himself a good opportunity to push for a win against Vladimir Fedoseev (SLO) in Round 2 of Sardinia World Chess Festival 2024. In time trouble, the Norwegian first traded queens and then traded his bishop with his opponent's knight. It evaporated the advantage and the game ended in a draw. IM Vantika Agrawal played solid and ensured GM Maksim Chigaev (ESP) did not break through her defenses. The game ended in a draw. GM Bharath Subramaniyam H is the sole Indian at 2/2. WFM Alexandra Botez (CAN) will face her sister, Andrea Botez (CAN) in the third round in Group B. Round 3 starts tomorrow at 3 p.m. local time, 6:30 p.m. IST.
