Bhakti, the newly crowned Commonwealth Champion from Goa scored 6 points from 9 rounds and was way ahead of Woman Grandmaster Sabina-Francesca Foisor (4.5) of USA. She drew with Grandmaster Horvath from Hungary on the way to win her beautiful trophy. “I am amazed by the profound understanding of chess this girl has shown,” commented the GM from Hungary after he proposed truce in their battle. Veteran French trainer Jean-Pierry Mercier was more eloquent. “I can see Bhakti among the top women players of the world in two years if she continues in the same manner,” predicted the veteran who trains 100 French players every year. The Commonwealth Woman Champion from Madgao gave the credit of her string of successes to her trainer and Dronacharya Awardee Raghunandan Gokhale. “Sir has transformed my game by making me play more aggressively,” Bhakti said. “Bhakti deserves civic reception for her Commonwealth Woman Championship”, Gokhale commented.”It is not everyday occurrence that a Goan wins International Gold in senior category.” The Central Government will honour Bhakti for the Gold medal, according to the coach. Nitish Has Big Impact While Bhakti was busy collecting 31 Elo points from her showing, Geno Pharmaceuticals Brand Ambassador and Commonwealth Under 14 Silver medalist Nitish Belurkar shocked International Woman Master Renata Gazik of Poland in the final round. “It was big experience for 12 year old Nitish to play among the elites of European chess and he surpassed my expectations by gaining 37 International rating points,” remarked ace coach Raghunandan Gokhale before adding “I am expecting Nitish to come out and play fighting chess to give justice to his talent in his future tournaments.” Nitish will take part in Dubai Open Junior Chess Championship next month and eyes medal in World Youth Championship in South Africa in September.
