Indian Men Blitz Past Mongolia in Round 3

"Chess is one of the noblest inventions of the human mind", so wrote Prof. C. E. M Joad.

Whether you agree with this statement or not, you must admit that chess can be a riveting interest and an extraordinarily pervasive influence on the mind. Have you ever stopped to consider how little pieces of wood, differently coloured, variously shaped, and with varying potentials for movement can produce such concentration, elation or chagrin in the emotions of a player! Take, for instance, an over-the-board game only ten moves in from the start of play. What an already changed scenario there is in the configuration of the pieces, and in the embryonic plans that are growing in the minds of each player. Again, take the position 30 moves further into the game: here is an entirely changed scene and strategy required to outwit the opponent.
