Back to the pavillion - Why is there such a slant in favour of Bhakti Kulkarni in Mr. Salgaocar's reports on Goan chess?? Even if Ivana Furtado wins gold in her section, and Bhakti silver in hers, the first two paras are always devoted to Bhakti!!
Now look at the travesty in Mr. Sawaikar's message below - Why is Ivana continually being slighted by this communal-ridden GSCA? Onto the AICF - 1983 - Viswanathan Anand, a 14 yr old prodigy from Madras wanted to play in the National 'B", but the AICF rudely blocked him, insisting he qualify through the year-long district championships. The wily Madras District Chess Association discovered a loophole, and quickly created a special teen team, the Madras Colts, and entered them in the National Team Championships at IIT, Mumbai, with Anand on the top board. Anand crushed all to win the top board prize and a direct seeding to the National 'B' championships. He never looked back, and today is world champion, primarily responsible for the current chess renaissance in India. Is the AICF still shameless - when taking away Shri Barve's livelihood?? Sameer Salgaocar's silence is deafening - I have no quarrel with him - but THE "RIVER PRINCESS" MUST GO ! Tomorrow - the fictitious GSCA website.
