While blind chess genius Kishan Gangooli grabbed eyeballs after winning his fifth consecutive National Blind 'A' title on Sunday, there were two brothers from Odisha - Prachurya Kumar Pradhan and Soundarya Kumar - who earned plaudits as well. Soundarya, 18, younger of the two, bagged a third place finish and was selected for July's World Blind Team Chess Championship in Bulgaria. However, Prachurya, 21, missed out by a whisker (.5 points). He finished sixth overall after drawing his last game against Gangooli.'
