Vaishali wins Sivakasi Grand Prix Open Rapid

by R Anantharam - 28/11/2019

WGM Vaishali R started the tournament as the thirteenth seed. She scored wins in all seven rounds to become champion, finishing ahead of 3 GMs including her brother Praggnanandhaa. IM P Saravana Krishnan also scored 7.0/7, however due to a better tie-break score, Vaishali clinched the championship and Saravana had to settle for second position. They both finished a full point ahead of the competition. IM Harikrishnan A Ra scored 6.0/7 to secure third position, top seed of the tournament, National Triple Crown champion Aravindh Chithambaram was placed fourth and he was the only GM to finish in top fifteen. Total 248 players took part in this second leg of All India Chess Grand Prix. Photo: R Anantharam

Vaishali finishes ahead of three GMs

Former World under-12 & under-14 champion and WGM R Vaishali of Chennai won the Sri Kaliswari College FIDE Rated Rapid chess tournament at the college campus, Sivakasi on 17th November. She won the tournament ahead of several GMs including the top seed of the tournament and the National champion Aravindh Chithambaram of PSPB, her own brother and the reigning World under-18 champion R Praggnanandhaa and former National Blitz champion R R Laxman of ICF. On the seeding list, Aravindh was followed by IMs S Nitin of S Railways and A Ra Harikrishnan of Chennai.

Here is Vaishali's one of the best win of the tournament against Senthil Maran K in just 20 moves of round six.

Like Vaishali, IM P Saravana Krishnan also scored seven wins in seven rounds to tie with her for the first place. But the Buchholz tiebreak pushed him to the second spot.

Saravana Krishnan beat Harikrishnan in the final round of the tournament.

While the first three rounds had no upsets, the fourth round compensated it in plenty. The two girls from Chennai P Bala Kannamma and S Harini (wife of GM Karthikeyan P) shocked the second seeded Nitin and the former National Rapid champion GM R R Laxman of ICF respectively. Youngster L R Srihari of Chennai accounted for the Railway IM B T Muralikrishnan in this round.
