 Indian Grandmaster Shardul Gagare moves on to 5 out of 7 after his draw against Alexander Donchenko in round 7 of the Gibraltar Masters. He joins us in our studio. Shardul a draw today against Alexander Donchenko. The result itself is fine but you had chances today? Yes I think I was clearly better maybe from the start. He did not know this line and he made mistake right from the opening. So where did he go wrong in the opening? Where you felt you got an advantage? I think CD4 is already dubious and instead he should go Bishop c3. Yes Queen c3 and then knight d7 or b6. Okay and after CD4 why is it so bad for black? Because now I think he has to enter into this end game dc3, queen c3 and he is forced to exchange queens and he has this isolated pawn on d5 which is clearly worse for him. So he has a bad pawn and also the a file and actually these b2, b4 pawns are good for you. Yes because now I get direct access to a7 pawn and I can bring my pieces quickly. And it's very hard for him to attack these pawns. So then what happened where do you think you had the chance or the opportunity to make something more of the game? I think after rook c8, rook a5, rook b8 maybe I should go with b5 and try to open up the position a b5, rook b5 like this and then rook a1, rook a7. Right to put pressure on the b7 pawn and this would have been difficult for him. But was there because I think you were also under a little bit of time pressure? Yes at the end I was in time pressure so I thought okay. This position also looks better for a while? Yes it is better but I had very low time so I thought okay let's just repeat. So pragmatic decision to take a draw then? Yes also I think end position is not so clear. I mean I have advantage but I don't see a way to make progress. Right but while you are on 5 out of 7 it's a good score? Yes I think I am playing good in this tournament and I did not lose a single game so it's good. And going into the next 3 rounds you are feeling good about it? Yes. Alright well you wish you all the best for the remainder of the tournament and we hope to have you back with us. Thank you Sharjit. Thank you.
