Visakhapatnam sisters make a mark in the world of chess
The HinduThey come from the City of Destiny! “Even while 16-year-old Sahithi, now a Class X student, is trying to keep improving her game and her ELO rating, my elder daughter, 20-year-old Falguni who holds the senior national arbiter title, has officiated in major GM tournaments in Budapest and even got selection in a college there,” he said. “I am confident that all my efforts would prove to be worthy of taking the risk as Sahithi has already achieved the WIM and the FIDE Master titles and reached the top 10 in the women’s section from India last year,” the proud father said. “The high point of Sahithi is to make it to the Chess Olympiad in Chennai last year and winning the Reti Farkas Blitz Championship in Budapest, outwitting three GMs on the way,” Mr. Lokesh said. “With Sahithi inching closer to becoming a WGM and Falguni close to achieving the title of FIDE Arbiter, we are desperately looking for financial support,” Mr. Lokesh signed off with optimism.
