Vishnu Prasanna.

KOCHI: Chennai youngster Vishnu Prasanna’s triumph, with a round to spare, in the 19th Cusat Open here on Friday night seems to have inspired the rest of the Tamil Nadu players in a big way.

Seven of the top ten positions went to Tamil Nadu players in this all-India FIDE-rated chess tournament which concluded at the Cochin University’s SMS Hall on Saturday. Vishnu, the 17th seed, carried home his career-best purse of Rs. 15,000 while Tamil Nadu’s R. Sidharth and West Bengal’s top-seeded Saptarshi Roy finished second and third respectively.

Vishnu continued his good run in the final round today, jolting the seasoned fifth seed M.B. Muralidharan to finish with a lead of 1.5 points over the runner-up.

Final placings: 1. Vishnu Prasanna (TN, 10 pts from 11 rounds), 2. R. Sidharth (TN, 8.5), 3. Saptarshi Roy (WB, 8.5), 4. R.R. Laxman (TN, 8.5), 5. T.J. Suresh Kumar (ICF-TN 8), 6. M. Kunal (TN, 8), 7. V. Haribalu (TN, 8), 8. Vinoth Kum ar (TN, 8), 9. M.B. Muralidharan (Ker, 8), 10. Anurag Jaiswal (WB, 8).

The results (11th round):

M.B. Muralidharan lost to Vishnu Prasanna; Vinoth Kumar drew with R. Sidharth; Saptarshi Roy bt O.T. Anilkumar; M. Kunal drew with V. Haribalu; R.R. Laxman bt Naveen S. Hegde; Rupankar Nath drew with U.C. Mohanan; Anurag Jaiswal bt P.V. Gi reesh; M. Anandhraj drew with Santu Mondal; T.J. Suresh Kumar bt H. Venkatesh; T.R. Shanmuganathan drew with Avinash Sethi.
