The tournament is a 13-round swiss league, with 11 more rounds to go.
It is expected to be a cracker of a contest, especially in the open section, where experienced Indian juniors like Aravindh Chithambaram and Murali Karthikeyan will battle for the top places, while young blooded kids like Praggnananhaa and Nihal will gain experience.
