What is the condition of chess in your (a) neighborhood (b) school

In my neighborhood, not everyone plays chess and even if they do they are just beginners.

In school, some students are 900-1200s but when it comes to school management and authority who hosts their so-called chess tournament they don't even know that there are different formats like classic, blitz and bullet, proper rules like 50-move and 75-move rule, etc. There are no chess clocks and pieces are inconsistent (same board and have pieces from different set due to being lost. They don't even know about swiss and arena formats. They just show that they do something.

Now tell me about yours.

We don't have any tournaments clubs or anything at all in my area.

i don't touch grass, and i never go to tournment in real life

In our area, a tournament does happen, but I don't think many people know about it. I have never been to that tournament. As I live in the suburbs, it is also difficult to go to the main city center for tournaments due to traffic jams.

nothing

Nothing here barely anyone plays chess here

I can say that elders play like one OTB 1700 but teenagers and children play under 900 here

most people know how to play chess but most of them play under 600
