IM Aronyak Ghosh becomes the unbeaten champion
Starting out as the sixth seed of the tournament, Aronyak scored an unbeaten 6.5/7 to win the tournament. He scored six consecutive victories along with Sayan Bose whom he faced in the final round. After a draw in the seventh and last round of the tournament, Aronyak clinched the championship.
This is what Aronyak had to say after winning the tournament, "Yeah well it definitely feels good to finish first ahead of players like Sayantan da Mitrabha and others. After the blitz tournament massacre, I am obviously very happy to play better chess at the rapid format. Last game against Sayan da, I had some advantage but agreed to a draw as the position was quite complicated and I had some time pressure."
