Ayan - Divya
Position after 11...Bg4!?
IM Divya Deshmukh (2456) made a nice move 11...Bg4!? It was played only once before by GM Bobby Cheng (AUS). 12.hxg4 Rxh1 13.Qf3 here Divya deviated from Bobby's game and returned the exchange Rxf1+ 14.Kxf1 and Black eventually won the queen and minor piece endgame after White blundered her knight while making the 40th move to reach the second time control. The position was balanced until then.

GM Jose Gabriel Cardoso Cardoso (COL) drew with...
...GM Kazybek Nogerbek (KAZ) to maintain their lead 5/6
Mayank - Rudik
Position after 84.Kg1
Once the e3-pawn is lost, White cannot afford to sacrifice his rook for either bishop or knight as it would be losing in both cases. Defending the endgame and surviving for 50 moves is not an easy task for a human. Eventually, IM Mayank Chakraborty (2425) trapped his own rook and lost the game to IM Rudik Makarian (2524). This is the second consecutive game where Rudik had to grind an endgame and won. This was relatively easier to play for Rudik compared to the previous one.
