India's young Grand Master R. Pragyananda's brilliant performance continues. So far this year has been fantastic for the 16-year-old Grandmaster. Pragyanand has won the 9th round of the Norwegian Chess Group-A Open Tournament with 7.5 points. He remained unbeaten throughout the tournament and concluded the tournament late on Friday night with a victory over fellow Indian International Master (IM) V Praneet.
Pragyanand (ELO 2642) was one point ahead of second place IM Marcel Afroimsky (Israel) and IM Jung Min Seo (Sweden). Praneet was joint third with 6 points but finished sixth during the last table due to low tie-break score.
Apart from Praneet, Pragyanand defeated Viktor Mikhalevsky (8th level), Vitaly Kunin (6th table), Mukhmadjokhid Suyarov (4th stage), Semen Mutusov (2nd level) and Matthias Unneland (1st stage). While the other 3 encounters were drawn.
