Whether his Indian opponents are under-rated or he faces something that affecting his games. We never know. Hopefuly, everything will be fine so that he can play at his best for the rest of the games. He won the eighth round. Tomorrow morning he will play white against the 158th seed, Sumith Balan (2047). Three more rounds to go. Best of luck! ]
