Mahalakshmi (2185) was no match to Nisha's onslaught with the white pieces. After a lucky win in the first round, she has now lost two consecutive games.
Bodda Pratyusha (2289) was reeling with two losses in the first two rounds
While Mary Ann Gomes had drawn the first two games
Our young analyst Nihal Sarin feels that quality-wise Pratyusha and Mary played the game of the day. Here are his comments: "An interesting game played in the English Defence, which is not seen at the top level. This opening was named after some strong English players like Miles, Stean and Keene. It is an interesting opening where black sacrifices a pawn to obtain counterplay, but white seems to be able to keep his advantage with precise play. 4...Nc6 that Mary played is a rare sideline, which in my opinion should be met by 5.Ne2, keeping the option of rolling the f-pawn. In the middle, both sides had their chances, and the plan of putting the white knight on d3 was also notable. I think it is better to play 30.... or 31....Be6! (which was actually suggested to me by the engine) — not immediately trying to exploit the weakness on c5. The endgame was very drawish due to the presence of opposite-coloured bishops."

of opposite-coloured bishops.} 1/2-1/2
Top seed Eesha Karavade drew with Vaishali R.
Odisha state-mates Kiran Manisha Mohanty and Padmini Rout played a comical game.
Kiran won a queen for a rook and a piece and was cruising towards victory. Some complications meant that both Padmini and Kiran were promoting their pawns at the same time for new queens. However, remember that Kiran had an extra queen already, which she traded for Padmini's new queen to remain a queen up anyway! But all this was not enough as it ended in a draw.

Kiran is a hard-core 1.e4 player. Hence, when she pushed her d-pawn, Padmini thought for quite some time for her first move!
Phew! That was close. Padmini, thanks to this lucky draw, continues to lead the tournament with...
...Viji. Both are tied at 2.5/3.
