by Shahid Ahmed - 10/08/2024

Integral Coach Factory scored an unbeaten 11/12 to win 36th All India Inter Railway Team Chess Championship 2024. ICF defeated Southern Railway convincingly 0.5-3.5 in the final round to become a clear champion. Eastern Railway scored sole 10/12 to secure second place. Metro and South Eastern Railway scored 8/12 each. However, Metro edged past SER on tie-breaks to finish third. Top two teams remained undefeated. GM Visakh N R was the top scorer for his team ICF. He scored an unbeaten 5/6. India's latest GM P Shyam Nikhil and GM Laxman R R also remained undefeated. They made 4/6 and 2.5/3 each. GM Deepan Chakkravarthy scored a crucial 4/6. This is ICF's third triumph in three consecutive years and second victory in-a-row. Photo: FT FA Sureshkumar Janardhanan

An encore of the 35th edition

For the third time in the last three years, Integral Coach Factory has won the All India Inter-Railway Team Championship. They remained undefeated in all three of those triumphs. Only this time, they improved their score by making one match point more. If someone goes through the team event standings of the 36th edition, they will find that the top three finishers are exactly the same as the 33rd and 35th edition. Integral Coach Factory is the champion, Eastern Railway runner-up and Metro Railway Kolkata second runner-up. Eastern Railway also scored one match point more than the previous two occasions. Speaking of third time in the last three years, the venue, Railway Stadium in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh also falls in that statistics. IM Aronyak Ghosh won the individual event. That report will be published separately.
