Indomitable Ilamparthi wins with a round to spare, Sneha takes sole lead
In the penultimate round, Yash Bharadia was presented a half chance, an opportunity he was hoping for, but he actually did not look for it. Yash played 16.Qg5 and missed the only opportunity he had. He blundered a piece in the next 6 moves and eventually everything fell apart like a house of cards.
Sneha kept her unusual opening trend on when she started with 1.Nc3. The game quickly transposed into Dutch Defence. When she played 19.c4, it was just a pawn sacrifice to get initiative. Little did she know that her opponent will blunder a whole Bishop. Later Sneha missed a quicker win when she missed a checkmate in 5 moves combination.
Shefali A N of Karnataka, tried to grab one pawn too many which caused her loss eventually. Suhaani finished off the game with a cute checkmate combination.
