Team Chatterjee won the Family Team Chess Championship in Intra DBCA Chess Tournament 2017
For the first time, Dibyendu Barua Chess Academy organized a family team chess championship in Intra DBCA Chess Tournament 2017. The eligibility criterion was, the family member must be related to the student and family members will not face students. Thus every child can brag that my dad/mom is the best inside the checkered 64 squares. We saw various teams like mother-son, mother-daughter, father-son, father-daughter, two brothers and the most inspiring duo was a grandfather-grandson duo. Let's take a look at some of the different combination of teams:
Intra DBCA also featured some age/strength specific groups which garnered almost 200 different participants comprising of two different centres of DBCA in Kolkata.
