Tamil Nadu’s Aravindh Chidambaram has upped his ante by delivering back to back performance. A week after his staggering first place finish in Sunway Sitges International Open, he played in the strong Rilton Cup. The nine-day event which was held in Sweden saw a strong line-up of grandmasters.

The 18-year-old ended up with five victories from the nine rounds and added almost 10.4 rating points to his tally to close in on the sixth place. He won 6000 SEK in cash prize.
