Tense, drawn-out battles of the mind and the wit...With some of the sharpest minds doing battle...That is chess for you. Although Rohan Karwa, captain of the BITS Chess team, insists that it is as much fun to watch chess as any other spectator sport.
In this year's BOSM chess competition, BITS has three teams participating in botht he Classic and Rapid Chess tournaments. 5 players each of BITS A and B teams will participate in both the events while from the BITS C team, 5 players will participate in Classic Chess while the remaining 5 will participate in the Rapid Chess tournament.
Following on from their silver medal performance last year in the Rapid Chess version, Rohan is very optimistic about his team's performance this time. With the usual stalwarts from teams like SSN and Shaastra absent during BOSM this time, he says that the unknown factor in the competition would make it quite interesting.
Rohan is also very happy with the interest shown by BITSians in the game. Around 80 people had turned up for the tryouts, out of which 20 were finally selected. At last, he signs off by urging the BITSian population to not just crowd the basketball courts at all times, but to visit at least the finals of all sporting events. They are worth it!
Note: The chess tournaments will be held in SAC all through BOSM. The finals will be held on the 14th of September while a problem solving event involving teams of three will be held on the afternoon of the 14th.
