Mumbai: International Master Vikramaditya Kulkarni, champion of the third series, and Guru Prakash, victor of the second series, have advanced to the summit clash of the Rs 2.50 lakh prize money Grand Prix Chess Series, organised by Indian Chess School, here on Sunday.

On the top board, IM Kulkarni secured a victory over Sanjeev Mishra, while Guru Prakash triumphed over Arvind Iyer, achieving an impressive 5.5/6 record to lead the field of 101 players.

A group of six players including Atharv Soni, Arnav Koli, Ram Vishal Parab, Mihir Shah, Arjun Singh, and Vivek Jadhav are closely trailing the leaders with a score of 5/6.
