Sadurangam Puzzle Racer Contest – A Thrilling Test of Speed, Accuracy and Chess Thinking
The Sadurangam Puzzle Racer Contest was conducted today, 20 September 2026 at 11:00 AM, bringing together our young chess enthusiasts for an exciting battle of speed, calculation, accuracy and tactical vision.
The contest was conducted in two teams, with participants competing against their fellow players across three challenging rounds. Each round tested not only how quickly the players could solve chess puzzles, but also their ability to remain focused and accurate under time pressure.
After three intense rounds of competition, the top three performers from each team earned their place in the final stage. The six finalists were:
- Mokshith Sai
- Aswin
- Nidhilan
- Dexter
- Ananthika
- Abivardini
The Final Race
The final rounds brought together the six strongest performers, creating an exciting finish to the contest. Every puzzle demanded careful calculation and quick decision-making, and the players battled right until the end.
After the final scores were tallied, three racers emerged in the top three positions:
Winner – Dexter — 99 points
Runner-up – Abivardini — 78 points
Third Place – Nidhilan — 76 points
A special congratulations to Dexter, who put together an outstanding performance to finish at the top with an impressive 99 points.
More Than Just a Competition
The Puzzle Racer Contest was not simply about finding the correct moves. It was an opportunity for our students to experience chess in a different way — combining speed with accuracy, tactical awareness with calculation, and pressure with concentration.
The journey from the opening rounds to the final stage gave every participant an opportunity to challenge themselves and learn from the experience. Reaching the final six itself was a wonderful achievement for Mokshith Sai, Aswin, Nidhilan, Dexter, Ananthika and Abivardini.
Congratulations to Everyone!
