Nihal Sarin was the clear winner of the Silver Lake Open in Veliko Gradiste, Serbia. After seven rounds, Sarin, who celebrates his 17th birthday on 13 July, led with 6.5/7 and was a whole point ahead of the field.
But after Sarin drew against Abhimanyu Puranik in round eight, Raunak Sadhwani and Serbian veteran Branko Damljanovic again came within striking distance of Sarin. In the last round, it came to a duel between the leader and his rival Damljanovic. Sarin came to a smooth win and outplayed Damljanovic right from the opening.
On twitter Sarin commented his tournament win rather matter-of-factly.
Won Silver Lake Open 2021 with 8.0/9. #Akshayakalpa
