    New Delhi, Dec 2 (PTI) Indian junior team proved their mettle again
    and defeated Armenia 3-1 in the third and final match to clinch the
    bilateral friendship series 2-0 at the Russian Center for Science
    and Arts here today.

    Riding high on the success of World Junior Champion Abhijeet Gupta
    and GM S Arun Prasad, the Indian team completed an emphatic victory
    after the last game was drawn by Deep Sengupta.

    Earlier in the day, World under-16 champion B Adhiban had played a
    quick draw.

    Overall, the Indians won 6 games, lost two and drew the reaming
    four. The first match had ended in a 2.5-1.5 victory for the home team
    while the second was drawn 2-2 with decisive results on all boards.

    Arun Prasad turned out to be the mainstay for team India on the second
    board winning two games against Hrant Melkumyan besides the lone draw
    that he conceded. Adhiban had a similar score playing white in all
    the three games.

    Abhijeet Gupta won two and lost one against 2006 World junior champion
    Zaven Andriasian while Deep Sengupta and G Rohit lost one game each
    besides the draw that Deep obtained against Samvel Ter Sahakyan in
    the final round.

    Things turned out India's way early in the day as all of them got
    positions they had expected apart from Adhiban who played it safe
    with white and drew quickly in a Berlin defense game.
