CHENNAI: Arjun Erigaisi scored the sole victory in the penultimate day of Chennai Grand Masters 2023 against top-seed Parham Maghsoodloo on Wednesday. It started a little wild compared to the other games.
The Iranian Grandmaster decided to sacrifice his bishop to get a couple of pawns and exploit Arjun’s weakened king. However, there was not enough compensation and White could not generate a substantial attack.
The other games had a relatively calm draw between Gukesh - Eljanov, Aronian - Predke, and Sanan - Harikrishna.
Harikrishna can spoil Gukesh’s tournament if he manages to beat the teenager tomorrow. Final Round 7 starts tomorrow at 1:30 PM
