Starting out as the 28th seed, Daakshin Arun of Tamil Nadu scored another emphatic victory over state mate Rohith S in a game where evaluation fluctuated a lot, however it was Daakshin who capitalized on his opponent's mistake and gained some valuable pawns to score a victory.

Top seed of the girls section, Kerala State champion Anupam M Sreekumar kept her cool, did not get surprised by her opponent Sneha Halder's strange 1...c6 response to her 1.Nf3. Eventually she got an entry with her major pieces after maneuvering her pieces for the best squares in the middlegame.
