Pushkar Dere and Vedant Panesar - Top two finishers of the problem-solving contest
We wanted to do something special for the final days of the Big Chess Diwali Camp. After noticing the curiosity of many players eager to solve challenging positions, we decided to host a problem-solving contest. With the help of Satanick from our team, we brought this idea to life. He carefully curated 10 difficult problems for the contest, and participants were given two hours to solve them. The response was overwhelming, with many players registering, and 35 participants were ultimately selected to take part.
