The anniversary supplements of your daily were great pages indeed. While browsing through the sports pages in one of such issues last night, I came to notice some interesting and important facts that made me happy and enthralled!

In the first place, I would like to thank you for the fact that you featured on Grandmaster Niaz Murshed who happened to be the first GM of the subcontinent and brought us great glory, name and pride. At this point, I feel like adding that it was Niaz who introduced the Bengali nation to people beyond our boundaries and popularised the game in the country. Thus paying due tribute to him is a must. Your featuring of our second Grandmaster, Ziaur Rahman, was also praiseworthy.

One points needs to be mentioned with much pain at heart: you aren't covering chess adequately. My earnest request is, please focus on chess the way you did in the past.

Finally, I feel enthralled to point out the brief introduction of the sports writers that you made. It was indeed nice to notice the innocuously interesting facts about them.
