The<br>\n30-year-old Indonesian grandmaster now shares the lead again with<br>\nBritish grandmaster Anthony Miles, who made up his half-a-point<br>\ndeficit by beating another Indian, Sharad Tilak, on the same<br>\nnight. The two had previously shared the lead in the fifth round.<\/p>\n<p>\"How unfortunate I was today!\" Utut exclaimed in dismay after<br>\naccepting the draw. Utut, who took the advantage of playing<br>\nwhite, was just a few steps closer to victory when, during the<br>\n43rd move, he inadvertently committed an error.<\/p>\n<p>In the 10th round, played late yesterday, Utut met Sulaeman<br>\nLovlu of Bangladesh, who toppled compatriot grandmaster Niaz<br>\nMurshed on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the last day of the tournament, Utut will take on<br>\nanother Indian, Devaki Prasad, whom Indonesian chess observers<br>\nbelieve to be the toughest among Utut's Indian contenders.<\/p>\n<p>Djamil Djamal, secretary-general of the Indonesian Chess<br>\nAssociation told The Jakarta Post yesterday that Utut needs two<br>\nmore points by beating both Lovlu and Prasad to increase his<br>\npresent elo rating of 2,610 to 2,620.<\/p>\n<p>If Utut collects eight points, his elo rating will remain<br>\nunchanged. His elo rating will drop by five if he manages less<br>\nthan that.
