Meanwhile, the Indian women, who were yet to register a team victory, finally got the ship sailing as they comfortably overcame U.S.A. with a 3-1 scoreline. GM Koneru Humpy and WGM Soumya Swaminathan starred in the victory with their wins over WGM Abrahamyan and FM Melekhina respectively.
After 5 rounds, Georgia leads solely with 9 match-points, followed by Russia on the 2nd spot and China on the 3rd.
