The team played with the advantage of white pieces, which proved valuable as they capitalized on the first-move advantage. In another match, Mumbai Masters narrowly defeated Triveni Continental Kings by a score of 8-7. Levon Aronian, leading the Kings, failed to capitalize on playing with white pieces, and the match ended in a draw on most of the boards.
