by Shahid Ahmed - 02/03/2023

GM Laxman R R scored an unbeaten 7.5/8 to win CMI Tessellate Rapid Rating Open 2023. He finished a half point ahead of the competition and the sole draw he conceded was against 15-year-old Aswin Sairam. Three players Sai Vishwesh C, Arun R U and Mridav M scored 7/8 each. They were placed second to fourth respectively according to tie-breaks. Only Sai remained undefeated among them. The total prize fund of the tournament was ₹103250. The top three prizes were ₹20000 + trophy, ₹15000 and ₹10000 each respectively. This is Laxman's first rating tournament victory of 2023 and quite possibly many more to come as he has the habit of winning a lot of tournaments.

Close race to the top

Three players - GM Laxman R R, IM Srihari L R and Sai Vishwesh C were at 6.5/7 heading into the final round. Laxman was up against Srihari and Sai was facing CM Daakshin Arun. Laxman had no choice but to win his game as his tie-breaks were low, Sai drew. Thus, the GM won the tournament and Sai was placed second.
