While praising the efforts of the
upcoming Mir Sultan Khan Chess Academy and especially highlighting the
outstanding work of GSCA Executive Member Amrut Naik and SAG Coach Sanjay
Kavlekar, chief guest Dr. Peter Carvalho declared that Sanvordem will soon
emerge as a major chess centre in Goa.
Dr. Carvalho, the founder of Cortalim Chess Club, was speaking at the Prize
Distribution ceremony of the State Sub-junior Championship which concluded at
the Sarvodaya High School, Curchorem. He went on to add that chess organisation
entailed a lot of 'hard work and discipline, and running a full fledged academy
was a tedious and time consuming process'. He noted that after Vasco and
subsequently Bambolim, it was the Sanvordem clubs that were now conducting the
maximum chess tournaments in the state of Goa A laptop, digital chess clocks and
sets were donated to the Academy by Mata Mamata Sukhdata Pratisthan. AICF Vice
President Sameer A. Salgaocar, GSCA Secretary Suhas Asnodkar and other Executive
Members of the GSCA were also present on the occasion.
