Rohith wins his second consecutive tournament
IM S Rohith Krishna had a sole lead 6.5/8 heading into the final round. A draw probably also would have been enough for him to win the tournament, however, Rohith decided to go for the maximum against CM Marek Fizer (CZE). The teenager won the final round game and finished a full point ahead of the competition.
