Hi Everybody,
In what was an exciting finish at the 86th Hastings International Chess, Indians Deep Sengupta and Arghyadip Das were the joint winners of the 2010/11 Hastings Masters. GM Romain Edouard had gone into the last ninth round maintaining his lead of the previous two rounds. But Das played a super game to beat him!
