Harikrishna maintains joint lead

Grandmaster norm holder IM P Harikrishna of India maintained his joint lead on four points after the end of the sixth round of the Corus Grandmaster Group B chess tournament.

Playing black against IM Karel Van der Weide of The Netherlands, Harikrishna employed his new found ideas in the Sicilian Pelikan and achieved easy equality in the middlegame.

A fighter to the core, Harikrishna tried hard for complications but the nature of the position did not allow him any advantage and the truce was signed after 66 moves.

Results of Round 6:

Gurevich M 4 drew T Luther 4;

Bosboom, Manuel 3.5 drew E Hoeksema 1;

Gulko, Boris 3 lost to Nico Vink 1;

De Vreugt, 3 lost to T Radjabov 3.5;

Visser, Yge 2.5 drew F Nijboer 4;

Van der Weide 2.5 drew P Harikrishna 4.
