WGM Swaminathan Soumya (IND,2271) l GM Alexandra Kosteniuk (RUS,2489) 0-1 (B)
Another disappointing show on top boards by our players ... Georgian players hold higher rated Sasi and Hari in their matches ... GN Gopal lost against Pantsulaia in 56 moves but Abhijeet played marathon match against Sanikidze and earned full point after 105 moves playing with black.
Harika and Tania hold their higher rated opponents playing with white ... Harika hold Kosintseva in 34 moves ... Tania hold Kosintseva in 33 moves ... But Eesha and Soumya lost playing with black ... Kosteniuk defeated Soumya in just 30 moves and Eesha lost against Gunina in 45 moves ... This loss will push us outside of top 5 in the standing.
