Shreyas Raj scored five points to win the Open U-15 category title on the concluding day of the Children Chess Festival 2023.

Ayaan Garg claimed the open U-12 title by scoring six points, while Bhan Singh scored 5½ points to win the U-9 final. Aayra Singh claimed the U-15 title by scoring 4/½ points, while Anvi Gupta won the girls’ U-12 final and Dilmeet Kaur claimed the U-9 title.

The championship was conducted by the Chandigarh Chess Academy. A total of 114 players from different states of North India participated in this championship. As many as 16 international-rated players also took part in it.

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).
