Rakshitta maintains her lead with Ngoc Thuy Duong
Eric - Harshavardhan
Eric Labog Jr. (2138) made a series of positional mistakes, starting with 16.b4. 27.Bc3 proved to be a fatal one as after Ne5 there is no good reply for White. 28.Rxa2 bxa2 29.Qa1 Nxc4 30.Bxg7 Rb1! ensuring White's deadly g7-bishop is gone. 31.Qxa2 Rxf1+ 32.Bxf1 Kxg7 33.dxc4 Qxc4 Black's material advantage is enough to convert it into a full point. This win helped Harshavardhan to extend his lead by a full point.
Femil - Rakshitta
Femil Chelladurai (1657) was already in trouble against WIM Rakshitta Ravi (2219). 22.Qxd5 did not help White's case Qf5 23.e6 fxe6 24.Qxe6+ Kh8 25.Nf3 Qxe6 26.Bxe6 Nxf4 White might have managed to trade the queens but the intensity of attack did not get reduced. Black won the game in the next few moves with her sharp play.
