Aditya wins his second event of the year in Kazakhstan
GM Aditya Mittal headed into the final round with a sole lead 7.5/9. He drew his final round game against GM Zhamsaran Tsydypov to become a clear champion. Earlier this year, Aditya won Astana Zhuldyzdary Open 2023 in July with an identical unbeaten 8/10 score and becoming a clear champion. The teenager bettered his previous triumph in Kazakhstan as he performed at 2722 which was 2668 last time. It goes without saying that Kazakhstan is really a great place for India's 77th GM.
