Jagjeet Singh, president of the AOA, and Giridharan Giri, arbiter of the chess tournament, gave away the medals and certificates to the six winners.

The chess tournament had categories for three different age groups. Ayush Sharma and Shaurya Gupta clinched gold and silver medals in the 5 to 8 years category. Ekansh Goel and J Parikshit won the gold and silver medals respectively in the category of 9 to 17 years, while in the senior category (18 and above), Maulik Soni won the gold medal while Rinki Sikka won the silver.

This was the society's second annual chess tournament. Showing a keen interest in the game, around 18 budding chess players participated in the tournament.

Giri,who is also a resident of the society, said, “Chess is known to improve the focus of an individual. It is also a great mental exercise. Several parents encouraged their children to participate in the tournament. Judging by the response, we will organise the next year's tournament more professionally.
