City’s Ayaan Garg has been officially awarded the FIDE Master (FM) title by the World Chess Federation (FIDE), marking a historic moment for the city’s chess community. Garg first earned the eligibility for the FM title by winning an individual gold medal at the 7th Western Asian Youth Chess Championship last year. According to FIDE regulations, gold medallists in this prestigious continental event are entitled to the FM title upon reaching a rating of 2100 or above.

Garg fulfilled this rating requirement in November, when he reached a peak of 2,131 following his performance at the 62nd National Chess Championship. There, he delivered a breakthrough performance — gaining 71 rating points, defeating one international master and drawing with another, finishing with a commendable 6.5 points. This remarkable showing propelled him past the 2100 rating mark.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
