First Girl from Lucknow Gets FIDE Rating

One of our old student Rishika Bhattacharya ( Born 1998) became first girl of Lucknow city to get FIDE rating of 1338 in July 2010 list. She got that rating from Delhi Under-2200 tournament in June. Though her rating is very modest but it is a new beginning and we can hope that she will improve it in future and more girls will join her in rating list.
