Ayaan Garg, a student of Strawberry Fields High School, Sector 26, claimed third position in the 12th National Amateur Chess Championship Below-2300 (Open) at Bodh Gaya, Bihar.

Garg remained undefeated throughout the tournament, scoring an impressive seven points out of nine, finishing with the same score as the top two players. However, due to the tournament’s tie-break system, he was awarded the third place. The championship featured players from 17 states across India.

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).
