Hastings: the incredible rally of Deep Sengupta

1/9/2018 – At the 93rd Congress in Hastings, England, Grandmaster Deep Sengupta from India and Chinese IM Yiping Lou shared the Masters tournament with 7.0 / 9 each. Sengupta had a wild an unlikely ride, losing in both round 1 and 4 to players rated about 300 Elo points lower, due to tactical oversights. The fact that he managed nevertheless to battle back to the very top after such a start in an open tournament, is rare! | Photo: Brendan O'Gorman
