4th FIDE World Chess Championships for People with Disabilities

4th Round - 9th October 2017

 

Unlike most rounds so far we had a total of 10 draws which of course is keeping the tournament interesting until the end. Most of the top seed players won their games. Tserenjav Tumenbayar of Mongolia, the current Asian Deaf Champion had a few issues getting here to Dresden but is now very much enjoying himself at the tournament. Despite being not rated he had a good round achieving a draw against Svetlana Gerasimova (ELO 1879) of Russia.
