Bulletin: Round 5 - Leaders’ Match Ends in a Draw at the Jubilee-Open

Top chess dogs Dreev and Areshchenko shook hands after only nine moves in the Alois Nagler Memorial. Grandmasters Golod, Sandipan und Geetha seized the chance to catch up and emerged among top runners. Five players share the lead with 4.5 points. Yannick Pelletier, most promising of Swiss players in the tournament to date, had a draw against Fridmann and failed to jump into the leading contingent. But Oliver Brendel’s triumph over Grandmaster Gasanov placed him among the players with 4 points, now numbering 26 players. Juciute Einora (Lithuania) and Velimir Remetic (Switzerland, Allschwil) are the only two players in the Open who still have all their points. With the maxumum 5 points after five rounds, they have the lead in the Accentus (Schach Schweiz) Open. The sixth round of the Jubilee-Open is slated for Wednesday afternoon.
