Missed IM norm daw with that last round loss by Haridas
I thought he could convert when i saw the opening, a sicilian sveshnikov wherein haridas has a good record as Black (around +4, even scoring a draw against wesley). Book move ends when White deviated in the 21st move, Haridas seems to force the issue (out of the opening) as he created complications out of the barren position, he was quite successful early on the middlegame as he created some weakness on the opponents structure and as his opponent slowly creep in to time truouble (around 15 moves to make in 10 minutes). Some inaccuracies on his part shifted the tide to Das as he penetrated to break the monopoly of White on the cental squares. A loss but a galant effort by Haridas, thank you for representing our country and for the entertaining games, give your self some rest from tournament play.

yup, he missed the norm, a draw would have been sufficient.
