Kolkata-based chess player Mitrabha Guha has become India’s 72nd Grandmaster by bagging his third and final GM norm during a tournament in Serbia.

The 20-year-old achieved the final norm at the ongoing GM Third Saturday Mix 220 tourney in Novi Sad, Serbia. Guha beat GM Nikola Sedlak of Serbia in the ninth round. So far, he has scored seven points with six wins, two draws and a loss. He had scored his second norm at the Sheikh Russel GM tournament in Bangladesh a fortnight ago. — PTI

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).
