WiChessQueen, you must not be referring to the approximately 15% of Indians who are under or malnourished, or the 30% without reliable access to clean, fresh water. Just imagine how high their chess ratings would soar if they had basically anything to eat or drink that wouldn't carry the risk of Cholera or Typhoid Fever.

sawdof...and they are vegan, this has a polarizing affect, as you point out. Town and gown conflicts often occur when bats from swanky towns like Aspen ,CO mix with more blue-collar bats from towns like Allentown ,PA.

Chess Ace,the Times of India just reported that cosplaying fruit bats is all the rage among Indian chess players. Nobody debates the benefits of inversion therapy, and by taking their cue from fruit bats, Indian chess players have just taken it further. Furthermore there are reports of a new chess training regime wherein Indian players make a boiling, ultra-hot and spicy version of curry, and then consume it . It is said to be a training aid for concentration, trying to appear serene as your insides melt and you void your bowels , all while the chess club membership mocks your defecating form twitching on the floor. Later at the hospital everyone enjoys the latest chess opening's software.
You must be joking. I regularly hear updates from TOI and I haven't heard it. I'm also currently living in India.

because they start playing at a younger age, l was almost four, before my parents started teaching me. l think it is because they are taught chess moves instead of given pacifiers as infants.
Nice picture.

lol,Cuddly
ChessAce,if it's in the Times it's bankable. I think it just shows the commitment of Indians to the game of chess, a game ,whose development, they, like Persia, played a major role in, before giving it as a gift to the rest of the world, kind of like what they did with opium.
