Friends and foes Aahan Sharma and Varad Walde of Pune drew their final round game and Saket Kumar of Bihar defeated Ritish Chander A of Telangana. The trio scored eight points each and the other contenders for the title drew their game. This left the three players to vie for the honours and the tiebreaks pointed Aahan Sharma as the champion. The 15-year-old boy from Pune increased his bank balance by ₹122001 and a beautiful trophy, which he probably would have never dreamt.

Of the top 24 seeded players, only the first seed Soham Khasbardar of Maharashtra stood firm to be one among the seven leaders at the end of the fifth round. While Soham defeated Vedant Gadge of Pune, fifth seeded Siddhant Nath Jha of Haryana was a victim to Aahan Sharma. Akshaj Patil of Pune, Ishaan Tendolkar, Raunak Godbole – both from Maharashtra, Rohith N and Satvik Andabatla, both from Telangana are the others to score their fifth win to share the lead with five points each.

 

The Pune player Aahan Sharma put a halt to the winning streak of the top seed Soham Khasbardar and shared the lead with Satvik, who also registered a double hat-trick of wins at the end of the sixth round. Varad Walde of Pune and Rohith N of Telangana scored fluent wins in the seventh round to rise to the summit with Satvik and Aahan, as the latter two drew their encounter between them. All four players had conceded one draw to score 6.5 points each.
