The seventh round of the Lake Sevan Tournament 2015 proved to be quite an exciting one with as many as 4 games ending decisively. The wins were generally hard fought, with all the decisive games crossing the 50-move mark. The only ‘peaceful’ game today was a 26-move draw between Duda and Artemiev.
The biggest result of the day, as regards the top standings, was GM Anton David Guijarro’s victory over GM Hovhannisyan. This win has helped the young Spanish Grandmaster join GM Duda Jan Kryzystof at the top of the table with 5/7. Meanwhile, GM Vidit Gujrathi came back strongly from a disastrous 6th round to notch up a win over GM Ter-Sahakyan. The sole Indian hope is now placed second with a tally of 4 points.
