It was a privilege of my generation to have worked in industry alongside RNT
One of my most enjoyable memories of him?
At the Auto Expo in Delhi, almost 20 years ago.
I was at our company pavilion.
We heard a buzz at the entry & saw RNT come in with his colleagues—unplanned, unexpected.
When I went up to welcome him, he chuckled and said:
“I just came in to check out the competition!”
I will miss him greatly.
22nd September, 2024 is a red letter day for Indian Chess - this is one of the biggest moments in Indian Chess History. Team India wins Double Gold medals in the Chess Olympiad 2024! The Indian Open and Women's Team both secured Team Gold medals, with many more Individual Board medals to come.
Team India (Open) needed just a draw today for Team Gold, but they defeated Slovenia 3.5-0.5 anyway. Gukesh, Praggnanandhaa and Arjun scored wins on the top 3 boards, and Vidit had a long and fighting draw on board 4. The Indian Open Team secured first place with a whopping 21/22 Match points!
Team India (Women) had to win against Azerbaijan today, and they delivered with full force. Harika, Divya and Vantika won, while Vaishali drew her game. India defeated Azerbaijan 3.5-0.5! If Kazakhstan won against the USA today, there would've been tiebreaks involved - but that match ended in a draw. The Indian Women's Team secured first place with 19/22 match points!
A huge congratulations to all the players, coaches and the entire team involved. What a day!
