The Indian dominance at the Asian Continental Chess Championship 2015 continued as GMs Ganguly and Vishnu Prasanna took up the joint lead with a perfect score after Round 3. In the third round, Ganguly overcame GM Vakhidov after the latter blundered on move 64 in a drawn position while Vishnu Prasanna masterfully outplayed his compatriot GM Lalith Babu in a largely one-sided game.
Meanwhile, as many as 8 players, including 3 Indians are tied for the second spot with 2.5/3.
The 4th round promises to be an exciting one with Ganguly and Vishnu all set to lock horns against each other in a crucial all-India battle. A win tomorrow for either player will definitely put the winner in a strong position for the upcoming rounds.
