Apr-21-06   BIDMONFA: Chanda Sandipan

SANDIPAN, Chanda

May-30-06   samikd: <chessgames.com> I think its hightime the misrepresantion of this guy's name is corrected. His first name is Sandipan and last name is Chanda. So he is 'Sandipan Chanda', not 'Chanda Sandipan'. And unlike Anand's name, there is absoutely no ambiguity here. I know some websites (FIDE too?) make the same mistake, but that does not change the truth. So 'Alexei Shirov vs C. Sandipan' is WRONG...you have to write 'Shirov, Alexei vs C.Sandipan, or 'Alexei Shirov is Sandipan Chanda'
May-30-06   samikd: <BIDMONFA> Please see the above post

  hitman84: meaning of the name as far as I know...

Sandipan is the name of a hermit.
Chanda means "well mannered" which he truly is.

  Peligroso Patzer: I saw GM Sandipan (or Chanda) play at the World Open in Philadelphia last year, where he finished in a four-way tie for third place, as I recall. His countryman IM Panchanathan tied for first but lost on the Black side of an Armageddon tie-break with GM Kamil Miton of Poland. I wonder why none of Sandipan's games from that event are included in the CG database.
Jul-30-06   SNiraj: Chanda will be training with Jaan Ehlvest next month ...
Aug-01-06   SNiraj: Before that, he will be playing in Goa in an All India Open FIDE rating tournament. D.P. Singh and 10 other IM's will also be present as well as Under 10 World Champion Sahaj Grover.
Aug-15-06   SNiraj: Chanda finished second in Goa after losing to D.P.Singh in a crucial game. He still remains one of the most likeable Indian players in the circuit nevertheless! http://oheraldo.in/node/17836
Aug-24-06   SNiraj: Chanda's team ONGC "A" won the InterPetroleum tournament which was held in Kolkatta.
Jan-30-07   VishyFan: Chanda currently in joint 2nd with 4.5/6 in Gibraltar Chess Congress 2007..., will face Michael Adams in the 7th round...

best of lucky Chanda...

Feb-05-07   VishyFan: Chanda has won the 8th round and lost the 9th round game in Bundesliga 2007...
Jul-15-07   samsal27: Chanda simply crushed Tiviakov in 30 moves in the 9th round of the Canadian Open finally mating him. I hope that <chessgames.com> puts the game in his collection.
Jul-23-07   Jim Bartle: That game vs. Tiviakov is the subject of Kavalek's column in the Washington Post today: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dy...
Aug-12-07   samsal27: Sandipan will be playing in the Asian Zonal Championship which gets underway later this month in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Good luck to him!
Sep-20-07   samsal27: Sandipan is playing Darwin Laylo of the Philippines after beating Pinoy Nouri Hamed yesterday in the first round.
Oct-09-07   samsal27: Vishy Anand mentions Chanda's help in this interview - http://www.gulfnews.com/sport/Chess...
Dec-17-07   samsal27: Chanda playing in the 4th edition of the Singapore Masters. Good luck to him! - http://sports.inquirer.net/inquirer...
Dec-24-07   samsal27: Chanda finished 3rd 9behind Azmai and Zhang) which is quite good in a strong field. Congrats to him! - http://www.sunstar.com.ph/static/da...
Aug-09-09   indianchessupdates: India's Sandipan Chanda finished joint first with 7/9 in the 18th Kavala open 2009 and in the process crossed 2600 for the first time
