Laptops for players

For someone who eclipsed the record of GM Pentyala Harikrishna to become the youngest-ever qualifier for the National ‘A’ chess championship from Andhra Pradesh, it was a day to remember for youngster Ch. Meher Chinna Reddy when he was presented a laptop by Mr. M. Bhaskar, IPS and Additional DGP (Legal) on Thursday.

Thanks to the initiative of cyberchess.co.in, a website designed and managed by IM Lanka Ravi, and the timely response from Sameer Salgaokar, a chess lover and also vice-president of All India Chess Federation, Meher Chinna Reddy and M.R.
