All the three boys tallied perfect scores in their respective sections. Sreeniketh won the Under 12 title with a score of 5 points out of a possible 5. Ajith (Cambridge Public School) and Abhijith S B (Delhi Public School South) came second and third with 4 and 3 points respectively. The unlucky participant to miss out on the merit list was Rhea of Vidya Shilp Academy.
While the hot favorite L.S.Prabhanjan of Prarthana School scored a perfect 5 points out of 5 rounds to win the Under 9 Category, the Under 7 Category was bagged by S.Vasishta who scored 4 out of 4.
Both Akash of Kendriya Vidyalaya, Malleswaram and Arjun Govind of Vidya Shilp Academy tied for the second prize with 4 points apiece. However, the former was adjudged as second on account of a better progressive score.
In the Under 7 category, top seed and favourite S.Vasishta lived upto his billing by winning the first place. The second and third placings were won by Pranav G (Delhi Public School South) and Ojasi Gopikrishna. Although Pranav lost to Ojasi in the penultimate round, he tallied 3 points, half a point more than the young girl who is in UKG at Air Force School. The unlucky player to miss out on a placing in this category was Yash Panjwani who scored the same points as Ojasi ( 2.5), but missed due to an inferior tie break score.
