KOLKATA: City boy Aronyak Ghosh is having a good run at the international arena. On his maiden visit to Europe, the International Master claimed the Obert Internacional meet title in Barcelona this week. Ghosh finished on top with seven points remaining unbeaten in this nine-round tournament, winning five and drawing four games.
The youngster warmed up for this title in style, finishing fourth and third in the two previous tournaments that he took part in Europe after deciding to step out of the country seeking Grandmaster norms. Ghosh had already crossed the magic 2500 Elo rating points needed to become a GM by winning the Athens of East International GM meet in Madurai last month.
