Experience is what counts, and it showed today as Uzbek Grandmaster Marat Dzhumaev accounted for IM Vikramaditya Kamble in quick time, in the fourth round of the 2nd SCS International Grandmaster Chess tournament at Hotel Swosti Premium, Bhubaneswar, here today. The win took Dzhumaev to 4/4 score along with GMs Maxim Turov and Aleksej Alexandrov, who scored over IMs Venkatesh and Konguvel respectively.

Eighteen players shared the second spot with 3.5 points, including Indian stars Deepan Chakkravarthy, Rahul Sangma, Satyapragyan Swangsyu, Neelotpal Das, Vaibhav Suri, Suvrajit Saha among others.

In another impressive result, Delhi kid Vaibhav Suri scored over Grandmaster Sundararajan Kidambi who took a risk too many in a Caro-Kann game. Conceding an exchange early in the middle game, Kidambi could not hold the attack much against Vaibhav who kept his play going on the queen side. Kidambi gave up on the 45th move, with heavy material deficit deciding the issue.

Calcutta based Suvrajit Saha overcame a stiff resistance from Uzbek Grandmaster Saidali Iuldachev in a queen pawn game that lasted 45 moves. Deft handling of the double rook and minor pieces gave Saha the full point, keeping him on course for a Grandmaster Norm.
