Ilamparthi and Indira remain undefeated at the conclusion of round 7
Despite getting advantage in the middle game, Ilamparthi A R made a huge blunder which his opponent managed to identify. However it was not Aakash's day as he missed a wonderful winning opportunity which would have pummeled him into the championship fray. Both hails from the same state of Tamil Nadu.
Manasvi of Karnataka did not handle the Scotch Opening quite well as she lost several tempos and that eventually lead to huge lack in development of her pieces. Indira of Tamil Nadu took advantage of her opponent's mistakes and clinically punished her opponent's mistakes and checkmated in just 25 moves.
