IM Audi Ameya and Himal Gusian, both from India, shared lead with three others, GMs Boris Saychenko of Russia, Kirill Stupak of Belarus and Luka Paichadze of Georgia with 6.5 points each at the end of eight rounds of the GITAM University Grandmasters chess championship here on Wednesday.
On the top board, Himal and Ameya played four Knights defence and got into an interesting middle-game where both played cautiously and went on to a rook and pawn ending. The two eventually settled for a draw in 35 moves.
