Grandmaster domination
Top seed, GM Sriram Jha, scorched the field by winning eight games in-a-row. Rajdip Das was the sole player trailing him by a full point. Although a draw would have sufficed, the Grandmaster went on to defeat Lalrinliana John to become the champion with a perfect score. Rajdip won against Lalnunsanga to secure second place. Lalrinsanga C lost to Stephen Malsawmtluanga and the latter finished third.
