HA NOI – International Grand Master Le Quang Liem ranked second after a draw with Netherlands's Anish Giri at the Dortmund Sparkassen Chess Meeting in Germany yesterday.

Liem gained 5.5 points with nine draws and one win, behind Russian Vladimir Kramnik, who won the championship.

Dutch Anish placed third with 5 points.

The HCM City native had the only win at the event after stunning Ukraine's Ruslan Ponomariov.
