Mayank - Daksh, Round 8

Position after 35.Nd7?

35.Nd7? was a questionable decision by IM Mayank Chakraborty (ASM, 2403). 35.Rb7 Rxb7 36.Nxb7 Qb6 37.Nc5 would have allowed White to get rid of the b3-pawn. However 35.Nd7 created an opportunity for Black Qxd7 36.Rxd7 Kxd7 now White cannot take the passed b-pawn. Moreover, Black can combine the powefr of rook and knight to promote his pawn with ease. That happened in the game and he went on to win.

Daksh Goyal scored an unbeaten 8.5/11 and gained 115.2 Elo rating points

Mrittika - Shubhi, Round 9

Position after 23...Qg5?

WFM Shubhi Gupta (UP, 1902) made a critical error 23...Qg5? in a sharp position. Mrittika Mallick (WB, 1970) correctly found the best continuation 24.Rf5 Qe3+ 25.Bf2 Qxe4 26.Rxf7+ and White won the game in the next few moves. This crucial victory put Mrittika in the sole lead, heading into the penultimate round.
