Onam Chess Competition - Tigers and Lions

The contestants were like wild animals. Determined, attacking, defending, cowing, capturing and defeating. From the initial rounds, it was very difficult to say who had the upper hand. At last, after many rounds of draws and wins, Ammu and Abhishek reached the final. The final was really a breathtaking affair. The attacking style of Ammu was matched by Ahishek's enduring defense. Abhishek was initially losing grounds to Ammu, whose style was like that of a tigress on hunt. Abhishek later bounced back with a vengeance. But alas! The game ended in a draw. We need to organise a tie-breaker later this week. So expect more on this!

By the way, about the action in the photos. No, it was no fighting. It was really a chess competition:-)
