Today's session at New Nallakunta, Hyderabad was quite interesting. The games were well fought. Sreyamsh who was out of form came out with a brilliant performance to outwit Teja, the No.4 player of the academy in a brilliant end game. In the other games, Aditya defeated Kausutbha, Pawan defeated Chaitanya, Nikhila defeated Karthik, Kaustubha attained a good position against Aditya but made some weak moves to lose the end game.In another blitz games played between these two, Aditya defeated Kaustubha 2-1.Supraja, Pavani and Srinivas played out some practice games.At AMSRI court of our Secunderabad Branch, Chanakya defeated Ritvik in a brilliant game. Chanakya developed King side attack and Ritvik defended the position excellently and came out with a counter attack. But Ritvik had to surrender the game to a brilliant move by Chanakya. The surprise guest to the game sessions was Mahathi, the ex student of our academy. At Begumpet, a round robin tournament was conducted. Four players were involved. Jatin, Kaushik, Vineeth and Chanakya. The ever cool boy, master Jatin won the tournament comfortably. But there were big upsets. The unrated Kaushik defeated both Vineeth and Chanakya to clink 2nd position. Incidentally, Kaushik is the cousin of Master Srikar Varadaraj, the ex student of our academy who recently held Vishy Anand to a draw in a simultaneous exhibition match at Hitex, Hyderabad.  The academy congratulates Kaushik for his superb performance. Anirudh and Satvik were involved in an exercise "Attack the piece on files,ranks and diagonals" which they did very effectively.
