Chandigarh, August 30

Rashmi Kumari of the PSPB, former World Champion and 10-time national champion grabbed the top position in the first round matches of the champions league during the ongoing Indian Online Carrom Challenge.

Chandigarh’s Nidhi Gupta maintained second position with 40 points (6 2 6 5 5 3 8 5). Rashmi claimed 28 points (6 1 8 6 3 4 2 3 = 33 – 05 credit points for scoring a white slam in the 2nd board = 28) to claim the lead.

In the men’s category, Mohammed Sheikh of Karnataka exhibited a superb game to claim top position with three points (2 1 3 3 0 3 2 4 = 18 – 15 credit points for scoring one white slam in the second board and one Ultimate Slam in the 5th board).

In the champions league, all players will play another four rounds of eight boards each to reach the semi-final stage.

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).
