Chennai: Favourites had a smooth sailing in round one of the S.K. Narasihman Memorial FIDE-rating chess tournament here on Tuesday. When play began, 156 players had entered the 11-round Swiss format competition. Top-seeded Ram S. Krishnan of BSNL (Chennai) used his two bishops in a Slav defence game with white to defeat Aswin Kumar. On the second board, GM-elect G.B. Prakash of Indian Bank played the Caro-Kann defence with black and won a pawn in the opening. C. Bala Subramanian went for a premature attack and paid the price by losing a rook for minor piece. Prakash threatened a mate in two when white gave up after 35 moves. Notable first round winners included the Sri Lankan champion M.K.A. Russell. There are seven players from Sri Lanka. Important results (round one): Ram S. Krishnan bt R. Aswin Kumar; C. Bala Subramanian lost to G.B. Prakash; C. Praveen Kumar bt V. Barath; S. Balaraman lost to P. Bhoobalan; P. Maheswaran bt L. Barath; V. Bhaskar lost to M.K.A. Russell ; K.V. Shantharam bt K.G. Chaithanyaa; J.P. Dinakaran lost to M. Vinoth Kumar; V.A.V. Rajesh bt B.V. Dinesh; Gangadhar lost to Laxman Wijesuriya; U. Gowri Shankar lost to J.K. Raju; P. Jayakumar bt T.M. Imthiyaz; R. Janakiram lost to R.A. Pradeep Kumar; P. Balaji bt S. Jitendra Vel.
