With two more rounds to go, Kazakhstan’s Nakhbayeva Guliskhan emerged clear winner with 8.5 points after defeating India’s WIM Mahalakshmi in the ninth round of the AICF International Women Grandmaster Chess Tournament, being organised by Telangana State Chess Association at NITHM, Hyderabad.

WGM Guliskhan is on a winning streak after winning  5 games in a row. In the seventh round, she defeated WGM Hoang Thi Bao Tram. But her wins against WIM Aakanksha Hagawane and WIM Mahalakshmi M in the eight and ninth rounds respectively made her stay strong in contention for title.

Mongolia’s IM Munguntuul Batkhuyag, with six points, is the next best placed player. She defeated India’s WIM Aakansha Hagawane. Ukraine’s WGM Prudnykova Olga drew with Vietnam’s Haong Thi Bao to take five

Earlier in eighth round, WIM Pratyusha Bodda dished out a good show to hold fancied International Master from Mongolia Munguntuul Batkhuyag.

WIM Mahalakshmi M and WIM Aakanksha Hagawane are only Indians with 4.5/9 points.
