I would have loved to go for this, but the date clashes with a programme I am attending in Mumbai. :( Good to see an event of this kind coming up - I hope there are many more!
Interesting afternoon today, a well conducted competition with a written prelim round and 3/4 interactive final rounds.
Mohsin had come down from Bangalore just for this, and he with Ajeesh cracked the prelims in under half the allotted time. One thought at that time that all was done and dusted, but not so. Seven other teams also made it to the final rounds, and ultimately it was Ramesh the juggernaut partnered by Srividya taking the top slot comfortably, closely followed by MacEsh.. LV and partner finished third. Hopefully the IIT folks will send across pics of the prize distribution with our very own Rishi doing the honours.
Had great fun. Well set clues and insanely competitive field. Sure had my hands full. Looking forward to more such events. And finally got to meet a sizeable number of setters. Gridman, Xchequer, Sunnet, Exa, Mac, Rainmon, Saral to name a few.
It will be nice if some of our solvers in Chennai can form a couple of teams and go to this open event.
ReplyDeleteGood idea.
