NEW DELHI: P. Hari Krishna played listlessly against Ukraine’s Pavel Eljanov and crashed to a 38-move defeat in the fourth round of the Montreal International chess tournament in Montreal on Monday. Hari, one of the two overnight leader, mishandled the position in the Slav game and tried to stay alive by sacrificing a rook for a bishop before giving up on the verge of losing a minor piece. The loss brought down Hari to the fifth spot in the 10-player field. Tiviakov loses
Sergei Tiviakov, the other overnight leader, also suffered a loss after facing Gata Kamsky. Vassily Ivanchuk joined Kamksy and Eljanov in the lead by handing out British GM Nigel Short his fourth loss in as many rounds.
