However, Kunal (6.5) made a comeback in the title contention with win over his old rival Dyutimoy Mukherjee (5.5).

In the 8th round, Debashis took no time to split point with Debarshi Mukherjee (6.5) to remain as strong title contender for the first time. Among two very promising boys, Kaustav Kundu (6.5) made a remarkable win over Rupankar Nath (6) in the 8th round, while Mitrabha Guha (5.5) failed to keep momentum by conceding the crucial game to Sayan Majumdar (6.5).
