by Devansh Singh - 16/06/2026

M Soham Kamotra holds GM Iniyan P to a draw in the 6th round of the 360 One Masters Chess Tournament. Speaking after the game, Soham revealed that he went out of his preparation early and played 6.Nc3, a move he felt created problems for him later in the opening. He believed he was worse from the start and even thought he might be losing at certain stages of the game. Iniyan is still leading the event after this draw.
