The USA vs Ireland Friendly Match: Peter Carroll’s Best Victory

by Tarun

Irish Chess Union and US Chess organized a friendly match. The match was held on 27th June. Ireland lost the match by 1 point. I’m analyzing the best victories of my Irish teammates. This time, I share my insights on Candidate Master (CM) Peter Carroll’s best victory in the match against Aakash Meduri.

CM Peter Carroll played on the 12th board for Ireland. He battled against USA’s Aakash Meduri. The match outcome was 2-2. The final game of their board match was crucial for the Irish Team. If Peter wins, Ireland levels the score with 5. The USA only needs a draw to win the match. The latter happened, but I was amazed to see Peter escaping from dead-losing position to only a piece down.

Urban to Rural

Migrating from Urban to Rural, is the present chess scenario in Hyderabad Chess. When we use to conduct every Sunday tournaments in Super kids chess academy, inspite of lot of hurdles, we still manage to run for nearly two years. Then we brought a innovative model ATC. It proved to be one of the best model and appreciated among the chess community accross the world. The main draw back was, it need to be played over the Board at ATC Ramnagar branch. We introduced online ATC and now it is serving entire world and players are improving their skills.

I request all the parents, coaches, organisers, local association work closely in conducting tournaments every week. This is a must for all emerging players of Hyderabad. As a parent, who born and broughtup in Hyderabad looking for chess tournaments in rural and even travelling out of Telangana to test my kids on what they are learning everyday. Moving Urban to Rural is a big pain but I feel it is a must in the journey of chess for ATC star players.

We recently played tournaments at Gudivada and Srikakulam, ATC star players got a chance to meet high rated players, coaches and also got a chance to exchange of knowledge and had a chance to participate in a seminar on Art of Attacking.

Let us talk about ATC star players performance at Brilliant. As usual, Tarun and Trisha paired against each other at 3rd round.

I want to share my experiences with you all about my 4th and subsequent rounds. If I write a story about 4th and 5th rounds, it will take lot of time and probably you may get bored.
