Indian Grandmaster Vidit Gujrathi continued to lead the standings in the Masters category of the Prague Chess Festival, after sharing a point with Swedish GM Nils Grandelius in the fourth round.
Gujrathi, the second-ranked Indian chess player behind Viswanathan Anand, was forced to draw against Grandelius, the lowest-rated player in the field, in a 35-move game.
P Harikrishna, the other Indian in the 10-player field, held Sam Shankland of the USA to a draw.
He had suffered a defeat in round three at the hands of the world’s top junior Alireza Firouzja.
Gujrathi will take on Firouzja in the fifth round later today while Harikrisha will battle it out against Russian Nikita Vitiugov.
