Mayank - Jakub
Position after 27.c5
IM Mayank Chakraborty (2452) used his passed pawns to his advantage starting with 27.c5 Re8 28.c6 Rb5 29.Qd3 Rc5 30.b4 Rc3 31.Qe4 a6 32.Re3 Rxe3 33.fxe3 Qf5 White was obviously delighted with a queen trade as it only accelerated his win 34.Qxf5 exf5 35.c7 f6 36.Ba4 Rf8 37.Bb3+ Kg7 38.Rd8 Rh8 39.g3 and it's over as Black will soon run out of moves. Mayank used the adage that passed pawns must be pushed to beat Poland's latest GM Jakub Seemann (2495).
IM Mayank Chakraborty defeated his second GM of the event in consecutive rounds
Raczek - Goutham
Position after 58.Ka1
White wants Rb2+ and followed by Rc1#. IM Goutham Krishna H (2414) facilitated that when he played 58...Qf6?? 59.f4!!+- and it is over. A painful finish for Goutham but a perfect one for IM Krzysztof Raczek (POL, 2487).
A tough loss for IM Goutham Krishna H against IM Krzysztof Raczek (POL)
IM Suyog Wagh probably had some difficult chances in the queen and bishop endgame against GM Srihari L R
