Jalandhar: University of Delhi ended its campaign as winner at LPU hosted Association of Indian Universities’ Inter University Zonal Chess Championship-2013. In this spectacular competitive event, Panjab University Chandigarh, Punjab Technical University Jalandhar, Punjabi University Patiala achieved second, third and fourth position respectively. These four teams have now qualified to participate in AIU’s Inter Zonal National Chess Championship to be held at Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri (Maharashtra). The huge consolation that the other 15 teams could draw from the event was their massive participation and display of the best game-skills. Akshay Anand of PTU was adjudged with best performance for 100% win in all the five rounds.
Congratulating the Winners & Runners up teams, and encouraging all other participating students, LPU Chancellor Mr Ashok Mittal said: “Games are meant to be played in true spirit and not for only winning. One has to come out with the best from within to be self satisfied with self performance. I am happy to see that the participating teams stayed at the campus as a closely knit family and enjoyed the LPU environment.” Mr Mittal also appreciated LPU’s Department of Sports for untiring efforts in making the event a grand success.
Sharing her experiences at LPU Campus, one of the female participants from Jammu University, Swadha said: “I and all of my team members are very much impressed with the lodging-boarding arrangements made for the players. All the staff members here are very co-operative.” AIU observer Dr GS Ruhal, Chief Arbiter Dr Rajendra Sharma, Deputy Arbiter Nitin were also happy on fair outcome of the championship.
