Grandmaster and former under-10 world champion Sahaj Grover came up with an inspired performance to beat compatriot Grandmaster Vidit Gujrathi in the sixth round of the World Junior chess championship here.

The victory with white pieces helped Grover to jump to joint second spot on five points.  Yu Yangyi of China regained sole lead on 5.5 points defeating SP Sethuraman in a keenly contested game. Yangyi is now followed by Grover, defending champion Alexander Ipatov of Turkey, Urii Eliseev of Russia and Debashish Das who all have five points apiece.
