Having lost the first round, Gujrathi had beaten compatriot Abhijeet Gupta with black pieces in the second round and now this victory as black should work as a huge confidence booster for the Indian star.

In the women’s event, R Vaishali displayed some amazing tactical acumen to crush Leya Garifullina who is playing under the FIDE flag. With 2.5 points in her bag from the first three rounds Vaishali now shares the third spot in this section.
