A great start to the latest ChessBase India Chess Club
FI Niklesh Jain, the Head of Hindi ChessBase India, has worked a lot to grow chess throughout Madhya Pradesh. The regular Khelo Chess India tournaments and the training camp held at Bhopal is a testament of that! The one thing remaining was a place where serious and casual players can come together in a regular basis to play the game. Well, that problem has been solved - we have now opened the ChessBase India Chess Club at Indore! The inaugural 3+2 Blitz tournament started off the Club on a good note.
