Another loss for Club India

Chennai: Club India suffered its third defeat after starting well in the 1st Asia Cup Club team chess championship at Al-Ain in the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday.

All the Indians were higher rated in this sixth round game against the Mongolian team Mon-Cad but yet they lost the two black boards and drew in the white games to lose 1-3.

The losers were the Chennai duo of R.R. Laxman and P. Karthikeyan while Deep Sengupta and S. Nitin made draws with white pieces.

Al-Ain (UAE), the host, is leading with five wins and one draw. Club India is tied for the 12th place with three wins and three losses in this 30-team competition. — Arvind Aaron
