Chess
KOZHIKODE: All the five Woman Grandmasters in the 35th National women’s ‘B’ chess championship, which opened at Hotel Sana Tower here on a wet Friday evening, posted victories. On the top five boards, Nisha Mohota, Swati Ghate, Mary Ann Gomes, Eesha Karvade and Aarthie Ramaswamy — the top five seeds in that order — defeated Pooja Kanth, G. Sandhya, A. Akshaya, Supriya Joshi and Mahashwetha respectively. The seventh seed Saimeera was held to a draw by P.V. Nanditha. On the first board, Nisha, with white pieces, beat Pooja in 64 moves of Slav Defence. After going a pawn up early on, she slowly took control of the game which reached a double-rook and minor piece ending. She was an exchange up and one of her pawns was set to be promoted when Black finally gave up. Important results (first round): Nisha Mohota bt Pooja Kanth; G. Sandhya lost to Swati Ghate; Mary Ann Gomes bt A. Akshaya; Supriya Joshi lost to Eesha Karvade; Aarthie Ramaswamy bt Mahashwetha; Anjana S. Krishna lost to Padmini Rout; Saimeera Ravi drew with P.V.
