by Shahid Ahmed - 11/09/2023

WIM Mounika Akshaya and Rindhiya V have emerged coleaders after Round 3 of Tata Steel Asian Junior Girls 2023. Mounika defeated Dakshita Kumawat and WFM Wadifa Ahmed (BAN) in the second and third round respectively. Rindhiya got the better of Swara Lakshmi S Nair and Sachi Jain. Tejaswini G held the second seeded WIM Saina Salonika to a draw. Saina had a difficult rook and double bishop endgame. However, her opponent decided to share the point. In the Open section, not a single player is at 3/3. A dozen players are at 2.5/3. Second seeded IM Srihari L R conceded two draws against FM Mohamed Anees M and FM Zia Tahsin Tajwar (BAN). Round 4 in Open and Girls section starts today from 9:30 a.m. IST. Photos: Himank Ghosh

No one perfect in the Open

WIM Mounika Akshaya defeated WFM Wadifa Ahmed (BAN) to move to 3/3

Sachi Jain blundered her knight in a double rook and double knight endgame against Rindhiya V

Open Round 2: Manon - Hari Madhavan: 0-1

One of the most interesting games of the second round is between FM Manon Reja Neer (BAN, 2295) and IM Hari Madhavan N B (2425).

Position after 28...Qg1+

Surprisingly, computer says White has decisive advantage after 29.Kh3 Qxh1 30.Qxf6. It might be difficult to translate it on a practical game. However, the counter-intuitive 29.Kh3 would have definitely given more chance than 29.Bg2 Rg8+ 30.Ng5 Qe1+ 31.Kh3 Rg6 32.Ne6+ and White soon lost the game.
