Crowd on the top of the Reykjavik Chess Open 2024 after six rounds

by L'immortale

As many as 11 players share the top of the Reykjavik Chess Open 2024 after six played rounds. With the score of 5 points, a group of 11 players emerged half a point ahead of 22 players who are trailing by half a point and closely follow the leaders.

The crowd on the top promises interesting last three rounds and it is hard to predict who could emerge as the event’s Winner. However, the best chances are in hands of GM Praveen Balakrishnan (USA, 2490), GM Vahap Sanal (Turkey, 2558), GM Emre Can (Turkey, 2551), IM Jakub Seemann (Poland, 2451), GM Gudmundur Kjartansson (Iceland, 2465), GM Jules Moussard (France, 2621), GM Sebastian Maze (France, 2551), GM Bogdan-Daniel Deac (Romania, 2690), GM Alisher Suleymenov (Kazakhstan, 2506), GM Paulius Pultinevicius (Lithuania, 2575) and GM B Adhiban (India, 2541) who are sharing the first place.

14-year-old WGM Lu Miaoyi (China, 2392) continues with great performances, and currently holds the best position among women players in the field. She scores 4.5 points with better tiebreaks than GM Zhu Jiner (China, 2467).

Only three rounds left to be played in the tournament, and the 7th round is scheduled for today 16:00 GMT. Live broadcast of the games is available here.
