After beating top Indian chess player Ashwin Jayaram in the 6th match on December 6, Vietnam’s International Grandmaster Le Quang Liem is very close to the championship title.
With 6 wins in 6 games, Le Quang Liem is currently leading the tournament by two points. If Liem wins his next 2 games on December 8, he will become the champion with one match to spare.
In his next match, Liem is up against another Vietnam’s International Grandmaster, Nguyen Anh Dung.
