    Three wins amongst the veterans in the challengers rd 2. Bok, L'Ami, and Svane all scored big.

    The expected tussle between Vaishali and Lu ended up in a quiet draw.

    In the challengers hope Oro can recover from his rough start - hard lessons.

    Rd 1 most impressive finish was Gurel over Bulmaga. Actually a high class blunder. Bulmaga moved her queen to a loose square and following John Nunn"s adage: Loose pieces drop off, Gurel delivered. Nice tactics at the end which werent even played out.

    The game between the two world headliners Oro and Vaishalli was all a showcase of the Inidan superstar. She got three rampaging pawns for a piece and overwhelmed Oro with sharp tactics.

    In Rd 1 Challengers there were no end of fighting games. I was particularly impressed with the game Lu - Nogerbek. Black sacked two minors for a rook and change and the onus was on White to activate her extra pieces. The resulting strategy produced a wild game and an impressive finish.

    Gukesh, Harikrishna, and Keymer three way tie for first after one round. So far, so good for Gukesh.

    In the other win Mendonca played a wonderful game until the end, then he hung a mating attack. Keymer took the point.

    Another fight was Harikrishna against Erigaisi. The younster sacked with vigor but Harikrishna kept the material and gave him a good lesson.

    I just got home from a tournament and a pleasant surprise was awaiting me. A wild game between Gukesh and Giri in the first round. Giri should have won the middlegame but Gukesh most definitely won the endgame.
