KORNEEV PURSUED BY TWO FOOTBALL TEAMS
Not too much excitement on the top boards today, though Sulskis-Emms was interesting and looked quite good for the English GM for a while. So Oleg Korneev remains the sole leader on 3½/4 while two football teams-worth of players are half a point behind him on 3. Smbat Lputian has erased the memory of his first round loss by winning three straight games. Today he beat Devaki Prasad with a typical French Defence game; lots of positional pressure.
Harriet Hunt lost to Daniel Fridman after the Latvian GM built up pressure against the e- and c-pawns of the English women's no. 1. Another English defeat was that of Keith Arkell, who turned down a draw against Natalia Kiseleva, but went on to lose a bishop to a crude knight fork. But the Pert twins both scored wins to move to 3/4.
Richard Pert claimed the scalp of Qatar GM Mohamad Al-Modiahki, husband of women's world champion Zhu Chen. Al-Modiahki got into terrible time trouble which proved highly prejudicial in a complex middlegame struggle. With 7 seconds remaining on his clock for 7 moves, Al-Modiahki's defences quickly fell apart.
Scores: Korneev 3½/4; Kotronias, N.Pert, R.Pert, Sandipan, Lputian, Sulskis, Wells, Agdestein, Emms, Iordachescu, Kuzmin, Barsov, Del Rio, Handke, Motwani, Zatonskih, Psakhis, Williams, Davies, Fridman, Kogan, Kiseleva 3.
