FIDE World Cup: Karthik Venkataraman Packs Off Deac To Reach Fourth Round
Chinese GM Yu Yangyi: GM Karthik Venkataraman continued his dream run in the FIDE World Cup 2025 as he defeated GM Bogdan-Daniel Deac (ROU) in the second game of the tiebreaker with black pieces to advance to the fourth round here on Sunday.
Karthik, who had drawn the first rapid game with white, pinned Deac’s king in one corner and made the most of the additional bishop on board to win in 43 moves.
“Classical game against Deac it was not too well but I somehow managed to defend. But in both the rapid games I played well. I don’t know if I was objectively winning in the first game but I was clearly better. Second game also it was smooth,” said Karthik, who will next face Le Quang Liem of Vietnam.
