Niemann, Aravindh and Salem co-leaders
Three players are sharing the lead with perfect scores after three rounds in the Sharjah Masters. Hans Niemann (14th seed), Aravindh Chithambaram (19th) and Saleh Salem (30th) are tied for first place after starting the event with three wins in a row.
Niemann came from successfully hunting down Jakhongir Vakhidov’s kingon Wednesday, and defeated Nikolas Theodorou, who had upset top seed Arjun Erigaisi in a rather one-sided encounter. Aravindh obtained a positional edge early on and went on to proficiently convert it into a win against Marcin Krzyzanowski, the lowest-rated player in the leading group after two rounds. Finally, Salem got the better of Vladimir Fedoseev with the black pieces after a tactical, double-edged struggle (see analysis of the game below).
Understanding Middlegame Strategies Vol.1 - 9
In this Video-Course we deal with different dynamic decisions involving pawns. The aim of this Course is to arm club/tournament players with fresh ideas which they can use in their own practice.
Standing a half point behind the leaders are five players: Amin Tabatabaei (5th seed), Sam Shankland (18th), Volodar Murzin (28th), Abhimanyu Puranik (29th) and Sangalp Gupta (66th). The latter obtained back-to-back upset wins in rounds 2 and 3, against Shant Sargsyan and Nodirbek Yakubboev respectively.
There are no rest days in the 9-round event, which will come to an end next Wednesday. In round 4, Salem will play white against Niemann, while Tabatabaei will get the white pieces against Aravindh.
