Arjun Erigaisi beat Ray Robson at the Chennai Grandmasters

German Vincent Keymer continued his perfect run at the Chennai Grandmasters 2025 with his third victory on the bounce in as many days at the Hyatt Regency in Chennai on Saturday, August 9, to remain on top of the list.

Arjun Erigaisi remained in pursuit of the leader with his victory over American Ray Robson on the day, as the Indian improved his tally to two and a half points and condemned Robson to remain at a point and a half in the process.

Keymer made quick work of Indian Karthikeyan Murali to take his tally to three points, while Liang Awonder picked up his first victory of the event against Dutchman Jorden Van Foreest in the Masters category.

Vidit Gujrathi edged out Nihal Sarin in what was the game of the day in a contest that lasted almost four hours. Anish Giri had to settle for his third draw of the tournament as Pranav V held the Dutchman to split the offerings.

In the challengers’ section, Harika Dronavalli managed to play out a draw against compatriot Adhiban B to get off the mark at the event in the Capital City of Tamil Nadu. Panesh M got a triumph over Iniyan Pa, while Abhimanyu Puranik, who seems to have turned the tide in his favour after a slow start to the campaign, notched up a win over Harshavardhan GB.

Aryan Chopra and Diptayan Ghosh played out a hard-fought draw in the battle between the two, while Vaishali was handed a tough loss by Leon Luke Mendoca.
