Anuththara Made the WFM Title in the last round of the Women's Chess Olympiad 2012. Congratulations Anuththara. Comparable to the previous results, having a lot of 1st timers, the two Olympiad teams did reasonably well in the event. We have to value the work done by the coach Sunil Weeramantry who was totally devoted to the team in those 14 days. This became more valuable since all players gathered willingly from him what they wanted. You may enter www.chess-results.com or the official website for the results.

The service of the officials, HOD Ransith Fernando and Mrs. Atapattu as Lady official was also remarkable. The teams were together like one and was fighting fearlessly, against teams which are more stronger tham with the high motivation received from Ransith.

We got a lot of achievements from Congress also. Main is that Mr. Pradeep Mataraarachchi became an International Arbiter. Congratulations Pradeep. Dayal Siriwardena and Sumal Horawalavithana was awarded the FIDE Arbiter titles. Congratulations, Sumal and Dayal as well.

Final confirmation received to organize the Asian Schools Chess Championships 2013.
