The first half of the tourney was under the reign of the Orissa youngster Satyapragya. He shot into sole lead after five rounds with as many points, defeating former National Champion P. Konguvel on the way. However, he drew his next three rounds handing over the lead to Vishal Sareen of LIC. Meanwhile Andrew Webster of England, IMs Sharad Tilak and P. Konguvel who had dropped some points initially, moved towards the top with convincing victories.

However the end always has its shock of surprises. Vishal Sareen bungled away his winning game against Gunasekaran of Tamil nadu while Tilak and Webester called it truce though they had an interesting position on the board.  Konguvel, who now had chances of a tournament victory, played little recklessly to lose to Dipanjan Das. Babu who had been waiting patiently after his facile final round victory over Pallavi Shah had enough reasons to feel delighted. Though International Masters such as D. V. Prasad and V. Koshy performed much below everybody's expectations, Tamil Nadu's new find K. Gunasekaran put on a fine show.  He scored victories over IM Andrew Webster, Vishal Sareen and drew with IM P. Konguvel and FM T. S. Ravi. Among the women paricipants, Swati Ghate did well and was adjudged the Best Women Player of the Tournament.
