Time flew so quickly, and before anyone could notice it, they were already so close to the final day of the tournament. It was a long and colorful journey, with some satisfied with their result while others felt like they could do better.
Duta, who had been struggling in this tournament, managed to scrape every little point he could earn against a lower-rated opponent. In total, out of eight rounds he played, the boy managed to get three wins, two draws, and three defeats. This was definitely better than his expectation, what with him still staying in the line of the 50 percent point here.
Not only that, after the loss he suffered in the fourth round, the boy managed to bounce back quickly. In the last four rounds, he got one win, two draws, and one defeat, which might not be too much and far from letting him earn a title norm, but enough to propel his rating high to cross the 2150 threshold.
