20th Delhi GM Open 2023 R1: A smooth start for the top seeds

Shahid AhmedMarch 24, 20236 min read

The 20th edition of Delhi GM Open 2023 had a smooth start for the top seeds. There were no upsets in the first 45 boards. The rating difference being more than double played a key role in it. The top eight boards were decided in 32 moves or less. In a battle of generations, 16-year-old GM Volodar Murzin faced 88-year-old T V Subramanian. The Grandmaster had no trouble scoring a victory. All six Indian GMs scored a victory eachin the first round. Unlike the previous edition, no accelerated pairings are being used this time. Thus, the huge difference of strength between GMs, IMs and their opponents are clearly visible. Today is the first of two double rounds that is scheduled for this event. Round 2 starts at 9:30 a.m. IST. Photo: Aditya Sur Roy
