GM Raunak Sadhwani ended the four-match winning run of promising Pranav V, holding the latter for a draw in the Challengers category of the Chennai Grand Masters. The two Indians agreed to share the point after 39 moves in the fifth-round contest.

Grandmaster Levon Aronian was in roaring form while dispelling the challenge of GM Maxime Vachier-Lagrave. Aronian now has 3.5 points to close in on table-topper GM Arjun Erigaisi (4 points), who was held to a draw by GM Parham Maghsoodloo.

The experienced Vidit Gujarathi tried hard for a win but had to settle for a draw after 57 moves against GM Amin Tabatabaei, while GM Alexey Sarana and GM Aravindh Chithambaram signed the truce after 33 moves.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
