Youg Kids Scale Mountain Peaks

Some young kids of Lucknow achieved great success this week. Ayush Pandey an U-9 player got his maiden FIDE ranking of 1691 ! This indicates his bright future in chess. During state men's championship at Kanpur two young players of Lucknow performed very well. Akash Srivastava a ten year old boy scored credible 5.5/10 in that strong field . But most surprising performance was by our student Swastik Dehran who is still in U-7 category. He scored 6/10 points. In such a strong tournament he won 4 games drew another 4 and lost just 2 games. His last round draw was against a FIDE 1885 player !!
   We congratulate these boys on their performances and wish more success in future.
