Indian Puzzle Championship 2013
Discuss this test
India has a new puzzle champion, Prasanna Seshadri, with an impressive total of 977.5 points. This gave Prasanna a 250 point lead over second placed Amit Sowani who secured 720 points. Rajesh Kumar, the veteran solver, returned to the team after a one year absence with an impressive 610. Rohan Rao, the three-year champion, gave a lackluster performance by his high standards, but did enough to be the 4th entrant into Team India with 584 points.
Swaroop Guggilam again missed out by one rank at 5th place, which is very unfortunate. He leads the rest of the participants, a top 10 made up mostly of India's regular puzzling stalwarts. There were a few newcomers as well, most notably Areesh Mittal at 15th.
