Abhijeet makes short work of Taibang

By Arvind Aaron

Chennai May 16. The top three seeds in the boys' under-14 section, Deep Sen Gupta, G. Rohit and Abhijeet Gupta ware in resounding form as they recorded comfortable victories to be among the leaders at the end of the third round in the 15th Ramco National under-12 and 14 boys' and girls' chess championships here on Thursday.

After a demanding double round session, each of which saw power failures, no clear sole leader has emerged in all four sections. Both boys' sections are a long way from finding a leader with as many as eleven players leading in each of the two sections.

Former World under-12 boys' champion, Deep Sen Gupta, representing the AICF here, won with the white pieces by promoting his queen knight pawn on the 44th move against Sri Prasanth of Tamil Nadu to keep his all-win record.

Abhijeet Gupta of Rajasthan, who represented India at Oropesa del Mar in Spain in the World under-10 championships of 1998, registered a quick 25-move win over Taibang Nganba of Manipur with the white pieces.
