Swastik Singhal claimed lead on the opening day of the 9th Chandigarh Open Children’s Chess Festival. Singhal scored 3 points to claim the lead in the U-15 category. Ekaaksha Partap Singh Negi remained at the second position, while Vedant Garg ended the round at third spot with identical scores of three points each.

The championship is being organised by Chandigarh Chess Academy. A total of 109 players from different schools and neighbouring states are participating in this championship.

In the U-12 category, Aaditya Pajni claimed the lead with three points, followed by Tarush Jindal, Atharv Singh Negi and Armaan Bakshi (3 points each).

In the U-9 category, Tavish Bansal claimed the lead with three points, followed by Bhan Singh, Adiraj Singh Khekar and Samrath Kapoor (3 points each).

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).
