It is known that Chess was invented in India by Indians, but it is a sad thing when we Indian's do not give this magnificient game any importance. Proper attention needs to be given to this wondeful game and it's players.
It is a pity that even after fifteen hours of Anand winning the chapionship in Cap d'Agde, no newspaper in India has announced. So backward are we?? JN
Dear Sir/Madam, The coverage accorded to V.Anand's Chess matches is not at all up to the mark. For your information, V.Anand has already become the World Rapid Chess Champion. ( You can check up "The Hindu" Delhi edition of today i.e October 31, 2003 for the updates. ( Wonder how different the media coverage would have been in case it had been Sachin Tendulkar or Saurav Ganguly ?) Shame on you guys !
No wonder Sportsmen/ Sportswomen other than Indian cricketers feel left out and cheated of their fair share of fame and adulation from the Indian Public.
