Indian Grand Master Pentala Harikrishna bounced back from successive draws to outclass local star Noel Studer in the fourth round of the Biel Chess Festival in Switzerland. The world number 20 Indian, playing with white pieces, started on a dominating note and took the attack to his opponent from the word go. His aggressive game caught the Swiss player off-guard who skittled under pressure to concede the game in a mere 24 moves. The win not only was Harikrishna's first in the campaign but also saw him retain the joint second position with a total of two and a half points. The 31-year-old from Guntur will be now up against Hungarian Grand Master Peter Leko in the fifth round of this single Round-Robin tournament.
