Unstopable Iniyan
Currently, it looks impossible to stop Iniyan. With 2 rounds to go and the form he is in right now, it is going to be a tough task for anyone to stop him from winning the title. In the 8th round, Iniyan will play against Harsh Suresh with black pieces, and if he wins, he will win the tournament with a round to spare.
Puzzle of the Day
Iniyan found a nice checkmate against Aakash to finish the game. Can you do it too?
