NEW DELHI: Continuing his resurgent run, P. Hari Krishna raced past overnight leader Switzerland’s Victor Korchnoi and opened half-a-point lead after the seventh round of the Gyorgy Marx memorial chess tournament in Paks, Hungary, on Sunday. Hari’s third straight victory, after as many draws, took his tally to 4.5 points. Korchnoi and Hungary’s Csaba Balogh follow at four points. Three more rounds remain. The 43-move triumph came after Hari’s advanced pawns on the kingside made the veteran give up in an ending involving a bishop each and pawns. In the concurrently played Paks Cup Grandmasters tournament, Tania Sachdev drew with Hungary’s Gyozo Pataki and occupied the seventh spot following the eighth and penultimate round. At Abu Dhabi, Akshat Khamparia pulled off a creditable draw against sixth-seeded Belarus GM Aleksej Aleksandrov in the opening round of the Abu Dhabi Masters.
