Goan Chess League

Plans for a 'Goan Chess League' are
underway and this is expected to
commence shortly after the National
'B' Chess Championship in September and
the World Youth Chess Championship
in October. Members suggestions and
inputs were asked for in the last Executive
Body Meeting of the GSCA which took place
on the 10th of August.

There will be approximately 6-8 teams which
will participate in this event. Sponsors are
being approached with a target of 15th
November as the kickoff date. Each team
will have between 5-7 players of which four
can participate in a given encounter. The
teams will play on both home and away basis
and the top three teams will be given certificates
and prizes.

Dr. Peter Carvalho, the President of Cortalim
Chess Club, will be the Commissioner of the
first edition of the league. Interested participants
