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
