First of all, Shriya Revankar outplayed Vitalii Kalugin. Unfortunately, it was the worst game of Vitalii. He blundered a piece in the very beginning and we didn't see any intrigue. Shriya gets the 1st prize - $75.
Sanjith Madhavan defeated Anusha Subramanian and scored 6 of 7. The 2nd prize ($25 + private lesson with me) goes to him.
Vishal Bollineli won his game, but was caught on cheating. Cheating was detected after I analyzed his last game in details. That's why I had to reverse all his results. Everyone who played against him and lost, got extra point.
This game decided the fate of the 3rd place. Navodith V Bhat also scored 6 of 7, but due to additional indicators (Buchholz coefficient) he is on the 3rd place and gets the 3rd prize (3 Tactical Chess Courses). Congratulations!
The 4th is Rudy Padovan who scored 5.5 of 7. And there are 5 players who scored 5 of 7 and divided places from 5 to 9. For more details, please, look at the standings below!

Thank you, guys, for playing! I'm going to announce another tournament in late September!
All winners, please, contact me by e-mail at tricksofchess@gmail.com to receive your prizes!
P.S.: In this tournament we had too many cheaters - 3 totally. 2 of them were from India. The other one from England, but he confessed and repented. Any suggestions how to deal with it to avoid cheaters? Please, let me know what you think about it. You can type here into the comment section!
Best Regards,
FM Viktor Neustroev
