Grandmaster and former world junior
champion Abhijeet Gupta
has won the Agzamov memorial International open chess tournament.
At Tashkent today, the Indian came up with an
inspired performance in the last round to beat Russian Grandmaster Oleg
Korneev. Abhijeet ended up with Seven and a half points out of a possible nine
for a clear first place. He remained unbeaten in the tournament.
Apart from the winner's cheque of 4,000 US dollars,
Gupta also added important rating points to his kitty.
This is Gupta's second major title this year after
the Parsvnath International Open Chess tournament in New Delhi early in
January.
Gupta had also finished fourth in the prestigious
Dubai open in April this year.
