SPEAKER: Clinton Vaz - November 16, 2007 - 5:30pm VISIT: http://tinyurl.com/222757 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Goan kids created a record of sorts when they swept the top three places in the traditional All India Open tournament which takes place in Sangli every year. In the Under 9 section, wherein both boys and girls take part, M. Harikrishnan of Goa won the first prize. He has been on a tear of late and following his 4th place finish in the National Under 9 in Bangalore, he added one more feather in his cap by winning the Sangli crown. He is being presently coached by V. Sivaswamy of Bambolim Chess Club. Following him was Anirudh Bhat of Margao who is also a very strong, upcoming player. In third place was Gauri Keshav Hadkonkar who enabled an unprecedented Goan 'sweep' of the top 3 spots in this prestigious competition. Finally there was even more cheer for the Goan contingent when Rishabh Naik stood 5th! SOURCE: Sameer Salgaocar - President - GSCA
