Record with a perfect score
This was the first time when seeded players - GMs, IMs and WGMs were not eligible to play West Bengal State Rapid championship. Nevertheless, the tournament was still strong despite the absence of titled players. Scoring 8/8 at the age of 10 years, defeating five players who were rated a minimum of 545 Elo points higher, earned him 206 Elo rating points. It goes without saying that it might take some to tie or break this record.
A total of 206 players took part from various districts of West Bengal. The eight-round Swiss league Rapid Rating tournament took place on 28th and 29th January 2023 at Dinen Smriti Bhavan, Hooghly, West Bengal. The event was organized by Sara Bangla Daba Sangstha. The time control was 15 minutes + 10 seconds increment.
