Ulaanbaatar (Mongolia), September 25:  Indian veteran Kamal Chawla clinched his maiden IBSF World 6-Red title with a commanding 6-2 victory over Pakistan's Asjad Iqbal in the final of the IBSF World Men's 6-Red Snooker Championship here on Wednesday. India also bagged three more bronze medals through Malkeet Singh, Vidya Pillai and Keerthana Pandian. This triumph marks a significant turnaround for Chawla, who was the runner-up in the 2017 edition of the tournament. The 45-year-old faced an early setback, dropping the first two frames to Iqbal (23-47, 18-47). Vidit Gujrathi Returns to India for Meeting With PM Narendra Modi, Aravindh Chithambaram Replaces Him at 10th Vugar Gashimov Memorial Chess Tournament.
