Sigeman & Co Chess Tournament 2005: The website says: "Sasikiran nursed a small advantage against Hector and everything looked good. Commentators Peter Heine Nielsen and Brynell gave Hector a 10% chance of drawing, but 5 seconds after they had said that, Sasikiran missed a knight check that cost him his extra pawn. Sasikiran threw away half a point and perhaps also some fighting spirit. That was at least Peter Heine's guess. Hector fought hard and got his reward, he will now be able to land on a decent score if he does well against his Swedish colleagues."
Sasikiran has 4 out of possible 6 points and he is now in third position. I wished better than this. Brighter side, he has not lost any game. He has three matches to go including games against tournament millow GM Persson os Sweden and tournament leader GM Timman of Holland. I hope he will do better than third. Btw with 2642 ELO he is second to GM Nakamura of US (with ELO of 2657) in this tournament.
