• Prague Challengers: Gledura scores, Finek leads

  Only one game was decisive in round six of the Challengers at the Prague International Chess Festival, where Benjamin Gledura (pictured) defeated Jachym Nemec. The remaining encounters were drawn, though several featured complex positions and missed chances. Leader Vaclav Finek let a promising opportunity slip against Zhu Jiner, but the result was still enough for the 16-year-old to retain a full-point lead. | Photo: Petr Vrabec / Prague Chess Festival
