Leon finishes 10th, Souhardo scores his final IM-norm
Ivan Cheparinov scored a comfortable win in the final round against GM Matthieu Cornette to win VII Sunway Sitges International Open. He finished at 8.0/10 and a half point ahead of the competition. Jules Moussard and Jaime were placed second and third with a score of 7.5/10 each respectively. IM Leon Mendonca missed his final GM-norm, he scored 7.0/10, finished 10th overall and won the Best Under-16 prize. Souhardo Basak secured his final IM-norm by scoring 6.5/10. He just needs to touch 2400 to become India's latest IM. Shubham Bandikatte lost his final round game and he was placed 9th in Group B with a score of 6.5/10.
Cornette - Cheparinov: 0-1
Matthieu Cornette played the opening fine. Then he neglected the development of his pieces, for which he had to pay a heavy price.
Cornette - Cheparinov
Instead of 22.g4, white could have simply gone with 22.a4. Even b4 is also fine. Soon white arrived to a lost position and Cheparinov won the game and the tournament.
Leon - Checa: 0.5-0.5
Leon made a short draw in 17 moves to finish overall at 10th position with 7.0/10 and best among Under-16.
Jose Fernando - Souhardo: 0.5-0.5
Souhardo went into a double bishop vs double knight endgame and the position was completely open which of course favored his opponent. However Jose Fernando made a tactical error which allowed Souhardo to equalize easily.
