Johansen Blunder As Sengupta Strenghten the Lead in Doeberl Cup Round 8

IM Sengupta Deep took the opportunity from the blunder GM Johansen Darryl had made. GM Gawain Jones kept the pressure on IM Sengupta with a win over IM Xie in the rook endgame on board 2. GM Neeloptal Das drew with IM Sriram Jha while GM Kunte Abhijit was hold by IM David Smerdon. On board 5, we see an attacking game flair from GM Deepan Chakkravarthy J against IM Mas Hafizulhelmi which GM Deepan won with the threaten mate.
