The Shanmugadas clan did have a third member named Arjun competing in section 2, but only Shivani’s and Sindu’s point totals counted because they faired better than their brother overall.

| ICA Student Body Invades New Jersey State Grade Championships! |  As is always the case, many ICA students attended this past New Jersey State championship and as always did the school proud by notching up quite decent results in each grade section.
First up, we had Joshua Lerman, a first grader, score three points out of a total five. His losses came to the first, and second place finishers, and that was enough to earn him sixth place overall.

| Chess Articles | | ICA COACH ‘GM’ ARTUR JUSSUPOW (YUSUPOV) WINS FIDE AWARD FOR BEST CHESS BOOK! |  | | Artur Jussupow, or Yusupov, as is easier for most of us to pronounce, has been announced the winner of the “Boleslavsky Medal” for best chess book of 2008. The medal, named for Ukrainian Grandmaster Isaac Boleslavsky, is FIDE’s | | V.BOLOGAN. SWING | | One of the biggest Russian publishing houses, "AST", is going to publish the book of V.Bologan "Footsteps" (256 p., 52 games and fragments, autobiography, fragments from author's diary, photos and tournament tables). | | Sending the Rook to the Opposite Wing | | In the chapter “On Open Files,” Aron Nimzovitch formulated the following idea: to advance in one file with the idea of giving up that file for another one… to use that file as a jumping-off place. Unfortunately, he hardly developed this idea any further. We will somewhat fill in this blank spot with the small selection of examples we now bring to your attention.
| | CHESS Lubomir Kavalek | | The winning Ukrainian team in Calvia was not afraid to utilize young talents. The country's champion, Andrei Volokitin, 18, scored 8 1/2 points in 12 games. And the famous 14-year-old prodigy Sergei Kariakin scored an incredible 6 1/2 points in seven games. The team had a strong leader in Vassily Ivanchuk, 35, who amassed 9 1/2 points in 13 games on the top board. One of his victims was Teimur Radjabov, another 16-year-old talent, playing on Azerbaijan's top board. | | CHESS Lubomir Kavalek | | Peter Leko, the Hungarian challenger, leads the titleholder Vladimir Kramnik 5 1/2 to 4 1/2 at the 14-game Classical World Championship in Brissago, Switzerland, after yesterday's game, the 10th. Leko won the eighth game on Thursday; two weekend games were drawn. | | How to prepare to the game (mentally) & Time management Placket-Sadler, 1998/99 |  | | I have to say that before this game, I became incredibly nervous: if there is one thing I should have learnt by now, it is that in order to win a game, particularly against someone you really feel you should beat, it is necessary not to think about winning. Thinking about the end robs you of the will to concentrate on the means: you don't want to calculate, you get impatient, the slightest flaw in your plan gets you angry and annoyed and liable to force the pace recklessly. |
