I ended up winning the 1st prize in 1400-1499 rating category with a score of 5 out of 8. The tournament was All India Chess Masters-Season 3, Mumbai Classical Chess Tournament 2026. I also gained some 40 plus ELO points which should be confirmed in May 2026 FIDE website updates.

The struggle of 6 days was worth it. This was my 2nd FIDE rated classical 90 min + 30 seconds format. The tournament was held at the Russian House.
