Thanks,Prasen.

From what I read, Gukesh is not as good in rapid as in classical chess. In that case, he would like to get it finished within 14 games.

That was few months back. Need to search and put it here.

Anyway, Krish Tyagi lost in the second round at Eddie Herr against Oscari Padanius (FIN,23) 16 16.

I watched for a while in Q1 while we seemed to be totally dominating and came back to see us level at 3-3.

Now, watching again in Q4 and we now lead 4-3. Arijit Hyundal has scored 3 of the goals, he looks good. Dilaraj Singh seems another good player. He created a couple of chances when I watched.

He is now 11-1 in the last...

DKS is now ranked #7 in NCAA mens singles rankings after his NCAA SF performance. He will mostly play at #1 for Wake Forest in the dual season. So, he will get plenty of opportunities to play some very good players and also try to maintain a top 10 ranking by end of college season which will give 6-...

I am pretty sure that Vaidehi is not well funded. Only this year she has started travelling abroad, but mainly in Asia and this Australia tour was mostly her first tour outside Asia. Really do not know why she is taking both these weeks off. Is the injury which forced her to pull out 2 weeks back in...

Indian Americans Ronit Karki and Abhishek Thorat among boys and Maya Iyengar among women also moved thru to second round. "Girls" is okay, Sameer, in the juniors. Looks like that discussion earlier about the use of the word "girl" has affected us :) Oh, I did not even remember t...

Few withdrawals from main draw at Solapur next week including Rutuja. Ankita is likely to be top seed, Sahaja third seed and Shrivalli seventh seed with her lower ranking now. Zeel and Vaishnavi will be in the main draw too. With 4 wild cards and hopefully 4-5 qualifiers, we can see 13-14 Indians in...
