Open Section
With interesting matchups, it was one filled with intense struggle and opening surprises.

The live Broadcast of Games was halted due to metal tables and incompatibility of DGT boards on them, which was solved after Round 1.
Two interesting battles of Round one between FM Kshitij Bhandari Vs Prodigy Purushottam Silwal and FM Rijendra Rajbhandari vs Aashish Phuyal will be added soon.
Round Two
Women's Section
With new faces and some participants very young(below 14 years), the field is filled with youth and experience.

4 Players are sharing the lead after the end of today's play. The Women Section is slowly heating up.
