In the Chess, Grandmaster Arjun Erigaisi remained the lone Indian in the quarterfinals after P Harikrishna was eliminated by Jose Martinez Alcantara of Mexico in the fifth-round tie-break games of the FIDE World Cup at Panaji, Goa, yesterday.
Harikrishna, who had displayed sublime form so far, finally ran out of luck and ideas against Martinez, who had earlier created a buzz in the event by defeating Nodirbek Yakubboev of Uzbekistan. Earlier, Grandmaster Arjun Erigaisi stormed into the quarterfinals of the FIDE World Cup, defeating two-time winner Levon Aronian of the United States in the second game of the round of 16 in Panaji, Goa, on Saturday.
In the quarterfinal today, Erigaisi will play Chinese GM Wei Yi, Shankland meets Andrey Esipenko, and Martinez will face GM Javokhir Sindarov of Uzbekistan.
