ACL Challengers League 2018 is just a week away
ACL Challengers League 2018 is open for all academies. What does it mean? There is no limit on number of teams an academy can enroll in one category to increase their odds. Each winning team in all of the four categories will get a trophy. All participants will get a participation certificate. Only condition to get the participation certificate is that the player must play a minimum of one game in the entire tournament.
Let's see who participated in ACL 1st Super League 2018 and how they did wonders in over-the-board tournaments and contributed to the chess universe.
Ajay Karthikeyan (T Nagar Chess Academy 1800-2200)
Ajay Karthikeyan played in ACL during his National Sub-junior tournament and he won the national championship for the very first time. Ajay's coach, Srinivasa Rangan, said, "We are naturally happy and delighted. The interesting thing is he played a game in ACL (Academy Chess League) a day before he played a crucial game against top seed VS Rahul. He lost the ACL game because of a mouse slip but that kind of triggered him to do well in nationals after that. He won that game against VS Rahul"
Sankalp Gupta (Orange City Rockers 1800-2200)
Sankalp Gupta secured second runner-up position in National sub-junior while he was playing in ACL 1st Super League 2018 and then he went on to score IM norm in Abu Dhabi Masters
