Swastik Singhal emerged winner of the U-15 category on the concluding day of the 9th Chandigarh Open Children’s Chess Festival. Singhal scored 5½ points to claim the top spot. Vedant Garg claimed the second position with similar points, while Sarthak Singhal finished third with four points.

Aaditya Pajni claimed the U-12 category final by scoring five points, followed by Vivaan Mittal (5 points) at the second spot and Armaan Bakshi (5 points) at the third position. Samarth Kapoor emerged winner of the U-9 category with 5½ points, followed by Tavish Bansal (5 points) and Suryansh Kuksal (5 points).

The championship was organised by the Chandigarh Chess Academy and a total of 109 players participated.

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).
