Meet your Organizer:
I am Richa Mishra, and I have been organizing chess tournaments since 2016, with successful events held in the USA and Bangalore. These experiences have given me valuable exposure to conducting tournaments in various cities. I am now eager to bring my expertise to Mumbai. Most recently, I successfully organized a FIDE-rated tournament at Swamy Vivekanand School in Kandivali West on February 22, 2026. It attracted 236 participants. Chess Craft Academy provided excellent operational support, while Circle Chess handled the registration process seamlessly.
I would love to discuss opportunities to collaborate on or organize tournaments.
