SRM IST Chennai becomes All India Inter University Women Chess Champion 2023

by Shahid Ahmed - 03/03/2023

The defending champion Adamas University and SRM Institute of Science and Technology Chennai scored 8/10. SRM won the tournament due to better tie-breaks. They scored more game points than Adamas. Thus, the only unbeaten team of the tournament, Adamas had to settle for second place. University of Madras edged past University of Mumbai and University of Delhi on tie-breaks to finish third with a score of 7/10. Krithigga K (SRM IST), WIM Arpita Mukherjee (Adamas), Sudipa Haldar (University of Calcutta), Poorna Sri M K (SRM IST), Divyabharathi Masanam (University of Madras) and Chetana D (Osmania University) won individual Gold on Board no. 1-6 each respectively.

Runner-up Adamas University only team to remain undefeated and beat the champion

Adamas University Women's team made a stellar debut last year by winning both East Zone and All India Inter University Championship. This year also they were on track to repeat the same performance. They needed to beat University of Madras in the final round to become a clear champion. Unfortunately, draw is the only result they could manage. SRM IST Chennai defeated Osmania University 3-1 to win the tournament on tie-breaks. Their fourth round loss against Adamas did not factor in as they had scored more game points (TB2) than the eventual runner-up.
