Arjun Erigaise starts with a win in Delhi Chess Open 2022

National Champion Arjun Erigaisi began the tournament campaign in style beating Manigandan S S. at the start of the 19th Delhi International Grandmasters Chess tournament

5-times Commonwealth Champion and defending champion of 2020, Grandmaster Abhijeet Gupta made a winning start at the expense of Women International Master Angela Franco Valencia of Colombia while fresh from his title triumph at Guwahati Open, second seed Pavel Ponkratov started event on winning note against Bala Kannamma.

Grandmaster Cristhian Camilo Rios of Colombia was held to a draw by FIDE Master Muhammed Shuaau of Maldives on a day when most of the top seeds sailed through in the opener over their lesser known rivals. Rios found the going tough in the early phase itself and Shuaau was able to pull off a half point without much ado.  

Delhi’s 14 year old Shivika Rohilla came up with an inspired effort to beat Grandmaster RR Laxman in the first round of the 19th Delhi International Grandmasters Chess tournament that got under way here.  Shivika was at her best in probably her best performance in the career as she matched the Grandmaster move for move for a long time. Laxman enjoyed the advantage throughout the game with his white pieces but Shivika was quick to pounce on an opportunity that netted her a fine game. The result was never in doubt thereafter. 


Earlier in the day the event was formally inaugurated by Dr Sanjay Kapoor, President All India Chess Federation and Shri Bharat Singh Chauhan, Hony Secretary of AICF and President of Delhi Chess Association meanwhile announced that the next event will be held for 1.25 Crores as prize fund.
