13 year old Umang Kaisary, student of Sharada Mandir,
Miramar Panaji, added yet another feather in his cap by taking the
runnerup spot in the Kanetkar Memorial All India Under 17 Chess
Tournament held at Sangli, Maharastra from 15th to 17th Nov. 2007.

Sameer Kathmale (Elo 2099), and Andhra Pradesh U 17 Champion
Anand Reddy (Elo 2035) also took part in the tournament. Umang was
tied with Anand Reddy for 2nd place on points but won the tiebreaker blitz
game in a cool and collected fashion.

Earlier, Pranav Zantye won the Under 11 section in which Goan Rishabh
Naik stood second. Goans, who had swept all the top 3 in the Under 9
section thus were dominant in this section as well!
