44th chess olympiad inauguration ceremony

BJP only made it as Political contest. You even called CM cringe. I showed you who is cringe here
i also said modi came for a photo op , you had nothing to say about that.
I don't want politicians to get credit for work done by the TN chess federation and the all India chess federation.
What are all the netas and film stars doing taking seats in the opening ceremony, should have been filled with sports persons.
 
What is this, a competition between India and TN state ? India belongs to all TN people and TN belongs to all India people. Local politicians always look for opportunity to gain some publicity like these people but Modi is a master in publicity himself
 
All these large photos of politicians everywhere gives a tinpot impression of India.
I know its a south Indian thing to put large unseemly hoardings of leaders all over but it gives a very shoddy impression of the country.
 
very cute interview by judit polgar of a 8 year old national u8 champion.
This girl has no one in her family playing and learnt chess in a daycare as a 5 year old.
polgar is the highest rated woman in chess history.

in this case Pakistan took a very wrong decision to withdraw from the tournament.
A multinational event like the chess olympiad would have been a tremendous experience for the Pakistani team members.
Mixing with players from 180 countries is a opportunity few people get , and i speak from my experience in the rio Olympics as a spectator.
A few good games against higher rated players and it could have boosted the chess culture in Pakistan a lot.
We already had a few upsets with a ghana player surprising the number one US team member in a game. He is a international star now.
Cutting your nose to spite your face action from Pakistan government.
