It’s an all out GM clash on the top 10 boards going into the 11th round of the Asian Continental Chess Championship 2009. The only non-GM playing in those boards is Chinese Yu Yangyi. The current leaders are GM Ganguly Surta Shekhar and GM Zhou Weiqi who at 7½ out of 10 rounds are just half a point a head of their nearest rivals. 15-year old Hou Yifan who took part in the Open instead of the Women section of the Asian Continental is showing her mettle too in shared 3-7th position with 7/10 points. The heavily anticipated clash between the two junior superstars Hou Yifan and Wesley So took place on Round 10. The game ended in a draw.
