Grandmaster S.L. Narayanan, after struggling to find a breakthrough performance for a major part of 2023, is now enjoying the best phase of his career at the end of the year.
Narayanan is brimming with confidence after winning both the classic and blitz format in the El Llobregat Open in Barcelona last week. The victory in Barcelona came after he finished third in the Qatar Open.
Narayanan is now eyeing a good show at the World Rapid and Blitz tournament that begins in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, in the last week of December.
