CHESS, it is a very brilliant game, I love it and it will be increasing our thinking power too. By seeing this article I could remember that I participated in this inter-collegiate chess tournament of Mangalore University level on 1994-95 in Aloysius College by representing our Vivekanada college, Puttur. Still I remember by my silly mistake I lost my game at third round against Surathkal Engineering College.
