Arjun - Manish

Position after 18.Bxf5

Three consecutive incorrect rook moves by IM Manish Anto Cristiano F (TN, 2372) turned things in CM Arjun Adireddy's (TEL, 2057) favor. 16...Rfc8? 17.Qa5 Rc3 18.Bxf5 Rxe3 19.Be4 Rxe4 20.Rd8+ Rxd8 21.Qxd8+ Bf8 22.fxe4 and White went on to win the game comfortably.

Alekhya - Mandar

Position after 29.Kd4

Alekhya Mukhopadhyay (WB, 2149) won a wild game against Mandar Pradip Lad (Goa, 1959). Yes, after bishop, White's next most advanced pieces are queen and king. Eventually, the advanced king played a key role in White earning a victory.

Alekhya Mukhopadhyay (WB) bounced back with a victory where he played some bold chess against Mandar Pradip Lad (Goa)

Position after 17.Bf4

Ishvi Aggarwal (HAR, 1748) got a better position out of the opening and she outplayed her opponent Sneha Halder (WB, 1835). 17...Qb7 18.b5 would have given an immediate control. The game continued 18.Rfb1 b5 and White eventually won the game.

Ishvi Aggarwal (HAR) defeated Sneha Halder (WB) to become the new coleader 7/8
