Top seed Aleksey Grebnev from Russia was joined at the helm by two Indians on Wednesday at the Asian junior chess championship. Third seed S. Rohith Krishna and 13th seed S. Aswath moved into the lead position after their wins against Ritvik Krishnan and Gilbert Tarigan (Indonesia) respectively.
That was after Grebnev was held to a draw by Ayush Sharma on the top board. With just two rounds remaining, the leaders are on 5.5 points and are followed half a point behind by Sambit Panda, Manish Cristiano, Ayush and L.R. Srihari.
