As expected WGM Girya Olga drew the 10th rounds with local favorite WGM Padmini Rout , not without a hiccup, and won the title with 7.5 points out 10 rounds. The result of 11th round (final) doesn’t affect her current status. IM lilit in the sole second spot with 6.5 points. Along with Padmini, China WGM Guo Qi and IM Paehtz Elisabath of German shared the third place with 5.5 points each. Overnight leader Girya Olga chose Torre attack, an off beat opening as a surprise against Padmini Rout. The decision may be due to -2 score against Padmini who had beaten Girya in the U20 World Championships 2010 and 11 with either colours. The local lass Padmini was upto the task and countered well, the white's attack on queen side and gradually gained a better position. A Italian game between another Odia girl WGM Kiran Manisha and IM Eesha was coasting along the book lines and seem quiet for some time. Unaware by the black's maneuvers Kiran was busy picking the pawn on the Queen's side. Kiran couldn't withstand the hustle on the king side and resigned on the 45th move when a mating attack was on the cards.
