Umang Kaisary stands second in Sangli Under 17
13 year old Umang Kaisary, student of Sharada Mandir, Miramar Panaji, added
yet another feather in his cap by taking the runnerup spot in the Kanetkar
Memorial All India Under 17 Chess Tournament held at Sangli, Maharastra from
15th to 17th Nov. 2007.
Sameer Kathmale (Elo 2099), and Andhra Pradesh U 17 Champion Anand Reddy
(Elo 2035) also took part in the tournament. Umang was tied with Anand
Reddy for 2nd place on points but won the tiebreaker blitz game in a cool
and collected fashion.
Earlier, Pranav Zantye won the Under 11 section in which Goan Rishabh Naik
stood second. Goans, who had swept all the top 3 in the Under 9 section thus
were dominant in this section as well!
