Thanks a lot Mukund for conducting this tournament. It is certainly helping the kids a lot and is proving to be a confidence booster. Hopefully this will become an event in itself.
thanks a lot to everyone involved.
Also a good summary of the matches. You are correct, the semi final was a treat to watch. Arjun put in his 200% effort and tried everything possible, quite a see/saw match. Good to see the competitiveness.

Mukund
