Women GM and top seed D Harika kept herself in contention for the gold medal after beating compatriot Eesha Karavade in the ninth round of the World Junior Girls Chess Championship on Saturday.
The win helped Harika move to 7.5 points out of a possible 9 and she remained a half point behind Russian leader Vera Nebolsina.
Going by the points, it seems either Harika or Nebolsina will walk away with the title.
No other Indian girl was in medal contention after the defeat of Soumya Swaminathan and Mary Ann Gomes.
