The Montenegrin national team members had a solid day, and after six rounds, Serbian national team member Aleksandar Inđić was alone at the head of the table of the European Individual Chess Championship.
At the tournament in Petrovac, Inđić outplayed the naturalized Spaniard Maksim Chigaev with white pieces and took advantage of a draw on the first table between Frederik Svane and Ivan Čeparinov to be alone at the top of the table, while he is followed by a group of eight players with five points each.
When it comes to our chess players - grandmaster Nikita Petrov is our most successful representative with four points. Petrov dropped the winnings in the cannon finale, so he had to settle for a draw in the duel with the experienced Italian grandmaster Goden.
Nikola Đukić is still undefeated, but he recorded a new draw, after sharing a point in a duel with Selim Citak from Turkey. Đukić has 3,5 points, and so does Denis Kadrić who, after two consecutive defeats, defeated grandmaster Petar Golubka from Ukraine.
In the same group of players is Blažo Kalezić, who continued to play well and in today's duel drew with Aleksakis Dimitris from Greece.
Slaven Živković and Vuk Milošević won in today's round, while Aleksandra Žerebecova and Slavko Petrović drew.
