In the 1st 3 games, lower rated players won!! on higher rated players.

All results! Good games. Some obvious poor play & blunders.

However, worth mentioning good lesson game here:

Looked like, Harika dint have a good day. It all seemed as if her plan was to get a Rook for the opponent's Bishop, by loosing all the pawns, for the end game.
Looked like, this is classic example of a wrong plan, by "over extending" pawns, 13th & 16th moves ?. This kind of plans are seen in very high rated players, but are calculated. May be she isn't ready to take on Vishy Anand! yet.
She was defeated by lower rated opponent, and this defeat Harika wont be forgetting in the near furure.

Here is the game!!
