Was this a live performance in the ceremony? Looks like a promotional video

Hope the organizers make a decent return for investment. At least some tourism and good publicity

I doubt tourism will happen because of this event. Chess has a very niche audience and even they prefer sitting at home and watching with all the stats and god knows what all they keep showing on the screen.

chess has really taken off in India in the last 5 years with all the young teen and pre teen GMs.
Millions are now playing in school and clubs out of interest.

any international tournament like even the Olympics are always city oriented , eg tokyo Olympics, but presided over by the country's head , not a local representative. Though in this case modi should not have come as its not such a prominent tournament.
The court has its own take on the posters that were put up though.

Not included in the opening ceremony

It was done by a lady collector, using folk artistes for promotion in her district, Puthukottai.

tamil nadu deserves full credit but this is a international event where TN is representing India, if you understand what i mean.
The all India chess federation had proposed 4 sites in India and TN grabbed it with both hands.
But over doing the regional angle is a damper for the players from other states.
TN can be advertised but in a tasteful manner, its not a political contest.
The international community wont understand the local undercurrents like you or me , so its basically posturing for local votes.
Stalin didn't even sing the national anthem, just stood their. A bit strange in my view.

BJP only made it as Political contest. You even called CM cringe. I showed you who is cringe here
