Sport24.az reports with reference to Idman.Biz that within the framework of the third round, Suleymanli defeated Dutch representative Elin Rubers and, having scored 2.5 points, rose to the top of the tournament table.
Our chess player is followed by a group of seven participants, each with two points. Among them is one of the legends of world chess, 56-year-old Ukrainian Vasyl Ivanchuk. In the fourth round, Suleymanli will face Chinese Lu Maoyi.
