Railways, claimed the 26th Godrej GE Appliances National Women `B' Chess Championship at
Sangli. Saheli retains the crown she won in Chennai during Dec. '98.
Aarthie, with a show of strength, qualified quite easily
tying for the first place with Saheli. The top ten qualify for the next National
"A" championship for women. Young blood was injected when Y Pratibha, S Sujatha
and Baisakhi Das qualified to National "A". The trio will be making their debut
in National "A".
National junior champion Nisha Mohota of WB was the notable
player to miss out on the National "A". Nisha tied for eighth spot with six
points, but a low progressive score denied her the berth.

| Round 8 Report And Results |
| Sujatha upsets Nisha
Mohota The eighth and penultimate
round of the 26th Godrej GE Appliances National Women's "B" Chess Championship
at Sangli witnessed two big upsets. S.Sujatha of Tamil Nadu stunned International Women
Master Nisha Mohota of West Bengal, thus enhancing her qualifying chances considerably. In
another similar upset of sorts, Neha Singh of Bihar defeated topseed Mrunalini Kunte with
white pieces. Mrunalini who was in lead after the initial rounds finds herself in a tough
situation where her qualifying chances have dimmed. A final round victory may give her
some hopes of making it to the National Women's "A".
Meanwhile, Saheli and Aarthie remain in the top with 6.5
points and are followed by S.Meenakshi TN, Pallavi Shah LIC, Neha Singh Bihar and
S.Sujatha TN on six points. The top 10 in the list qualify for the ensuing National
"A" championship.
