The Joy of Draw

CHALLENGE DESCRIPTION My best friend Joy Shah is an incredible chess player. We always used to look back at one specific match from July 2016 where he managed to force a brilliant draw. At the time, I never understood why he was so proud of a tie instead of a victory. Especially considering his opponent was highly rated at 1900! As time goes on, my memories of that tournament are beginning to decay. I know it took place at the 30th National Under-13 Boys Chess Championship in Ahmedabad, but the fine details are slipping away.

Find the following information about that match:

  • Tournament Round (Format: digits only)
  • Name of the Opponent (Format: First_Last)
  • Last Traded Piece (Format: Capitalized singular noun)
  • Name of the Opening Defence (Format: Capitalized_Words)

Flag Format: dalctf{Round_First_Last_Piece_Opening_Defence}
