Open: Prraneeth - Rohith: 0.5-0.5

IM Prraneeth Vuppala (2451) had a subtantial advanatage against IM S Rohith Krishna (2370).

Position after 35...Qg4

36.Rxf7 would have been a slightly better option than what was played 36.Rxh3. Even after 36...f5 37.Qh6 followed by Re3 is still good enough for White to push for a win. White's advantage eventually evaporated and Black escaped with a draw.

Guz - Iniyan: 0-1

GM Iniyan P (2541) grinded a rook and opposite color bishop endgame against FM Ari Guz (ISR, 2305).

Manish - Luka: 1-0

IM Manish Anto Cristiano F (2332) defeated GM Luka Budisavljevic (SRB, 2524). He could have finished the double rook endgame slightly earlier.

Position after 40...R8e5

41.Rc4 would have forced the exchange of a pair of rooks Rxc4 42.bxc4. The resultant rook endgame is winning for White. Nevertheless, White went on to win the game in another 20 moves.

Girls: Priyanka - Assel: 0.5-0.5

WGM Priyanka Nutakki (2326) averted a disaster against WIM Assel Serikbay (KAZ, 2181).

Position after 31...Rad8

32.hxg6 hxg6 33.Rxe6 Qc4 34.Rxc6 Rxd4 35.Rxd4 Qxd4 36.g3 and White is doing fine. 32.Qd2 invited trouble Qc4 33.h6 Rxd4 instead first f6 before taking on d4 would have been devastating for White. The reason is - f6 resolves Black's back rank issues.
