Mitrabha and Koustav score GM-norms

Tournament champion Krasenkow won US$ 10000, Bernadskiy got $7000 and Srinath won $5000 cash prize. To understand the strength of the tournament, apart from the fact of tournament average rating of players being 2268 and the participation of enormous number of titled players, here is another interesting fact - only two players remained undefeated throughout the tournament among top 20. They are - GM Vugar Asadli (AZE) - 9th and IM Aditya Mittal - 14th.

Rasulov - Krasenkow: 0-1

GM Vugar Rasulov (AZE) was already in a precarious position against GM Michal Krasenkow (POL).

Position after 26...d2

While both players are trying to push their isolated passed pawns to the farthest, it is White who is in a relatively difficult position, because of the lack of space on the queenside. 27.d7 allowed Black to change the diagonal of the bishop 27...Bg7 28.Rab1 Bc3 and now 29.Rxd2 seems to be the only way to end the suffocation momentarily. However, it probably would not have changed the outcome anyway.

Tiviakov - Laxman: 0-1

GM Laxman R R beat the top seed of the tournament, GM Sergei Tiviakov (NED) after the latter made a big mistake in the final moments of the endgame.

Position after 58.Kd6

Both 58.Nd5+ and c6 leads to a draw, the former being an easier one. However, 58.Kd6 turns things completely in Black's favor. Find out how.
