The event was played in a 5-minute plus 3-second increment format, meaning that players had very little time to calculate positions and games were even won via flag-fall in time control.
14-year-old Rudr Prasad continued his fine form from 2019 by winning the Secondary School’s Division while Phillip Sukhu topped the Primary School category.
