In Under 14 Boys, Nihal manjunath lost his 3rd round game against Igambergenov Alibek of Kazakstan. It was surprising to see both players overlooking a mistake in the opening. Igambergenov played a blunder which would cost him a piece, Nihal just overlooked and the game went on for further middle game battle. However Nihal secured draw against Vietnam's Pham Hoai Naam in 4th round and scored a win in a miniature game against Munasinghe of Srilanka in 5th Round. In 5th Round, he played rook sacrifice which demolished all possible defences of the opponent.
In Under 14 Girls, Vanessa lost to Premnath Dinushki in 3rd Round. However she bounced back strongly by notching wins in 4th and 5th round against WCM Nguyen Ngoc Thuy Trang of Vietnam and Kahramonova Mohinur of Uzbekstan.
