4th Kolkata GM Open 2009

Mark Crowther - Thursday 10th September 2009

Le Quang Liem took clear first place with 8/10, he drew fairly quickly with Satyapragyan Swayangsu in the final round.

Elo favourite Shakhriyar Mamedyarov recovered from a slow start to finish on 7.5/10 (a final round win against Viktor Laznicka helped) level with Anton Filippov who beat Ni Hua in the final round. Nigel Short was a further half point back handing out a fairly brutal beating to Mikheil Mchedlishvili in the final round.
