GM Neelotpal Das comments on Karwar tmt ...
GM Neelotpal Das has published his comments on the Karwar tournament which was held in May, 2006. Some extracts from the same which are available on the CPAI website are published below with some of the games -
"A special thanks should go to Sameer Salgaocar for sponsoring this event wholeheartedly. It is highly appreciable that when they are mainly known for sponsoring soccer clubs in India, at the same time they are also trying to promote such unpopular games like Chess."
"I would also like to mention the involvement of two good players N.Sanjay and Arvind Shastri in the tournament which helped the organisers in various ways. The other volunteers were friendly, helpful and with full of enthusiasm and did their best to full fill if there were any problem."
"In all it was a very enjoyable and memorable tournament."
Games of the “All India Open tournament at Karwar, North Karnataka.”
