SA: Winning the Circuit was never easy because it meant that you need to consistently perform well.
The internet connection being not that great in my PG at Delhi, I really didn’t stand a chance to win the circuit.
#PLAY BOUNCE OUT BLITZ ONLINE SERIES#
Actually, I wasn’t was quite sure if I will be able to participate in all the tournaments of the series as the initial lockdown was till 31st of March, and my college was supposed to open after that. The strength of the tournaments got stronger, with the number of GMs and IMs increasing in every consecutive event, and so winning the circuit makes me even more happy. How does it feel to win with such a strong performance?ĭiptayan Ghosh (DG): It feels really great to win the Saturday Circuit Online Tournament Series among some of the best players of India as well as some strong foreign GMs. Shahid Ahmed (SA): Congratulations for winning the Circuit of Saturday Online Open Blitz Season 1. I decided to do an interview with him and gather his thoughts on his performance and how he is dealing with the ongoing situation of lockdown. He has always remained the soft spoken powerhouse, speaks softly and to the point when he is spoken to, but when you face him over the board, he will show you the definition of powerhouse. The mathematical odds have always sided with him.
It has become a well known fact that whenever Diptayan played an event be it Classical, Rapid or Blitz event, he is an instant favorite to win the tournament. I have watched Diptayan since his childhood growing up to be such a strong GM winning several tournaments every year.
