Calcutta, Feb. 25:
Sandipan Chanda's dismal run in the fifth United Insurance Grandmasters chess meet in Dhaka continues.
After collecting just two points from six rounds, the city IM today lost to local IM Reefat Bin Sattar. Chanda's chances of collecting his third GM norm from his tournament now look slim.
In today's game, a queen-pawn opening, Chanda lost with white pieces in 40 moves, according to information received here.
GM-elect G.B. Prakash of India held overnight leader GM Alexander Volzhyn with black pieces to move up to 3.5 points. In a Semi-Slav defence, Prakash held the Russian in 33 moves.
Volzhyn leads with 5.5 points.
