From the main event, not that much. From watching the live games it seemed there was a large group of young Indian players around 2000 who were very bad value, and the 2450+ guys who were just very good.
Some very encouraging performances in the junior events though, in particular the U12 and U14 sections. For quite a few of them it will have been their first 9 rounder, and that seems promising for the future.
