Chess in Sikkim

Now, chess generates interest in remote Sikkim, reports newKerala. Teams from eastern Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa, and the northeastern Tripura, Manipur and Nagaland states are among the participants.

Without a doubt Chess has broad appeal. India's booming economy should support Chess and soon there will be a day when it will be seen as a "Sport" all over the country. Not just a another game.

I feel really happy reading these kind of news.
