8th DAMSO International Chess Tournament Visually Impaired Chess Champion

The 8th DAMSO international-rated Chess tournament was held in Ambalangoda Darmashoka school, starting from the 19th of April to the 23rd of April.

 

I participated in this tournament under the differently-abled category, and I was able to win that category with 5 points out of 9 rounds. This was the 1st time I stayed in Ambalangoda for 5 days with other Chess players(Mr. Anthony Samuel and Malon Fenando).

While playing the tournament, I got the good news that I had been selected for the Chess team, which will be participating in the Asian Para Games this year in Indonesia. This is the first time Chess has been added as an indoor game in Para games.
