MARGAO
Chess prodigy IM Ethan Vaz of Goa once again clinched a Gold Medal for India, this time in the U-16 (Sub-Junior) Open category of Commonwealth Chess Championships 2024.
The Commonwealth Chess Championships 2024 was organised by The Chess Federation of Sri Lanka on behalf of The Commonwealth Chess Association and FIDE, from August 28 August to September 5, in Sri Lanka.
It may be recalled that Ethan had won Gold at Commonwealth Chess Championships in the year 2022, while he was 11 and playing in the U-12 category.
Ethan, who just turned 13 on September 3, was eligible to play in the U-14 category but had chosen to challenge himself by playing in a higher category this time. His boldness paid off handsomely with a well-deserved Gold Medal in the prestigious Sub-Junior Open category.
