Never seen that before.

  perfidious: Any loss to this player shall go against one's Akashic Record.

Caruana may count himself one of the fortunate not to have gone down before Mr Akash.

AKASH, G.

Sep-25-15  jith1207: <SamAtoms1980> In India, it's quite common to have a single Name, followed by Initial and not having a surname or father's name or family name. Naming convention differs a lot from Western World and many Indians would have more than two names, none of these referring to family or surname. Sri Lankans for example normally have more than 4 names and some of them abbreviated to Initials.

In this case, G refers to Akash's Dad's first letter, thus converted to an Initial which is normal in his native.
