Indian Grandmaster Harika Dronavalli continued her winning streak as she beat Tuvshintugs Batchimeg in the seventh round of the Reykjavik Open here.
Though the World No.11 Indian was up against a lower rated International Master from Mongolia, she had to work really hard to eke out a victory.
"My opponent made a small mistake in the opening phase of the game which made it easier for me," said Harika.
"Even though she made a mistake, I had to convert it very accurately and won after a five-hour long strategic battle," she added.
Harika now has a five wins, one draw and a loss for a total of five and half points.
The Hyderabadi will take on Turkish Grandmaster Mustafa Yilmaz in her next round battle.
