Some of them published on our website are: Sonakshi Rathore in 2019, Rutuja Bakshi in 2019, Swara Lakshmi won in 2022, Alexandra Botez in 2024, Sneha Halder last month and a few days later, Maitreyi and Avani won too.
Both Maitreyi Mondal and Debanjan Sinha were coleaders 8/9 heading into the final round. Maitreyi defeated Dave Sneh to become champion. Akshat Negi lost to Debanjan Sinha and the latter finished second. Soumalya Mondal scored a full point against C R Ritvik to finish third.
A total of 310 players took part from all over the country, one from Bangladesh and Sri Lanka each, and two from Nepal.
