Chennai Grand Masters 2023 official logo
GM Arjun Erigaisi had beaten GM Parham Maghsoodloo a few months ago at the FIDE World Rapid Team Championship 2023.
The game had a slightly wild start after 14.Nxf7 Kxf7 15.Qxa8
White allowed 28...g4 with the hopes of gaining some chances on the kingside — 29.Bxg4 Nxg4 30.h3 Ngf6 31.Qxh6 Rg8 32.g4 and White could not generate enough play to get compensation, let alone win or draw the game.
Arjun Erigaisi scored his second win of the event, Maghsoodloo suffered his second loss
