by Shahid Ahmed - 13/09/2023

Tejaswini G defeated Rindhiya V to gain sole lead after Round 5 at Tata Steel Asian Junior Girls 2023. WIM Mounika Akshaya drew against WIM Saina Salonika. Although, Mounika had a good opportunity but she did not capitalize on it. In Round 6, Tejaswini held the top seed WIM Nazerke Nurgali (KAZ) to a draw. WCM Bristy Mukherjee defeated the second seeded WIM Saina Salonika with some precise play. WCM Kriti Mayur Patel lost against Mrittika Mallick. Thus, Tejaswini, Mrittika and Bristy are now in a three-way lead 5/6. Mrittika will face Tejaswini in the seventh round. Bristy will be up against Shubhi Gupta. All four of them are undefeated so far. Round 7 in Open and Girls section starts today from 9:30 a.m. IST. Photos: Himank Ghosh

WCM Bristy Mukherjee scored a big win over the second seeded WIM Saina Salonika

Open Round 5: Ranindu - Srihari L R: 0-1

Sri Lanka no.1, FM Ranindu Dilshan Liyanage (SRI, 2407) blundered in an equal rook and few pawns endgame against IM Srihari L R (2444).

Position after 54.Rh5??

55.Kf4 Ra1 56.Kg4 Kg6 57.Kg3 a2 58.Kg2 would have been enough to share the point. 54.Rh5?? Ra1 55.Ra5 a2 56.Kf4 e5+ and it's over as no matter where the king goes, the rook gives a check and promotes the a-pawn.

Girls Round 5: Mounika - Saina: 0.5-0.5

WIM Mounika Akshaya (2096) had a great opportunity against WIM Saina Salonika (2140).

Position after 19...Qc7

20.Rxf7! is what White needed to play here. 20...Kxf7 21.Qd5+ Re6 22.Rf1+ Kg8 23.Nd4 and White would have been on her way to a full point. 20.Rc1 and the window of opportunity was shut.

The outcome of the game between WIM Mounika Akshaya Bommini and WIM Saina Salonika could have been quite different if the former had played Rxf7

Tejaswini G (pictured) defeated Rindhiya V to gain sole lead 4.5/5

Mrittika Mallick made a short work of Sanudula K M Dahamdi (SRI)

WCM Kriti Mayur Patel needed only 21 moves to win against WFM Bhagyashree Patel

Saina - Bristy, Round 6

Position after 29...b4

29...b4!-+ started turning things in WCM Bristy Mukherjee's (1858) favor. 30.axb4 Bxb4 31.Ra1 a3 32.Be3 Bxc3 33.bxc3 the resultant double rook and opposite color bishop is winning for Black as Black's light square bishop is more predominant than White's dark square bishop.

Shubhi Gupta - WIM Mounika Akshaya: 0.5-0.5
