Bexley Grammar Indian Chess Federation - Members

The Bexley Grammar Indian Chess Federation (BGICF), founded by Rishaan Ghosh, is a thriving organization dedicated to fostering a love for chess within the Bexley Grammar School community. Established with the vision of making chess accessible, engaging, and culturally enriching, BGICF brings together students who share a passion for this strategic game. Under the dedicated leadership of Rishaan Ghosh, who serves as both Founder and President, the federation has grown into a respected platform where players of all skill levels can learn, compete, and evolve.

BGICF not only focuses on the technical aspects of chess but also emphasizes the game’s cultural and historical significance, particularly the profound impact of Indian contributions to the sport. By introducing players to the rich heritage of Indian chess—from its origins as Chaturanga in ancient India to the modern strategies inspired by Indian grandmasters—BGICF encourages students to appreciate chess as both an intellectual pursuit and a cultural tradition.

Through regular events, such as tournaments, interactive workshops, and friendly matches, BGICF offers students ample opportunities to refine their skills while building friendships and teamwork. With Rishaan Ghosh’s vision, BGICF aims to inspire young minds, cultivate critical thinking, and promote resilience, making chess an enriching experience that goes beyond the board.
