India won a historic double gold at the 2024 Chess Olympiad in Budapest, Hungary, by clinching the top spot in both the open event and women's team competitions. These victories will forever remain among India's greatest achievements in sport. Chess enjoys huge popularity across the world. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) considers chess as a sport and recognises the International Chess Federation or World Chess Federation (FIDE) as an official federation. Yet, chess is not yet an Olympic sport. Should chess be an Olympic sport? Here we discuss the issue. Guests: Viswanathan Anand, five-time world champion and deputy president, FIDE; Pravin Thipsay, Grandmaster and coach Host: P.K. Ajith Kumar Edited by Jude Francis Weston

Episode 58 was recorded at The Green Man Art Gallery in the Buxton Fringe on 20th July 2024. The panellists were Kevin Hudson and Scott Allsop. The host was Richard Pulsford. As usual we had a varied list of On This Day topics. It was 55 years since Apollo 11 landed on the moon (20/07/1969). It was the birth date of Cornelia Zangheri Bandi, born (20/07/1664), who died of apparent spontaneous human combustion, and Dickens used this as a case study for one of his famous novels. It was also the anniversary of the day when milk was gathered to make The Cheshire Mammoth Cheese (20/07/1801) in the US. This resulted in a novel use for the word 'mammoth'. 20th July was also International Chess Day. The International Chess Federation was founded 100 years previously (20/07/1924), the last day of the first unofficial Chess Olympiad. The first Ford Motor Company car was shipped on this date (20/07/1903) so we had to have some quotes from Mr Ford. Some of the Buxton topics included Poole's Cavern, Dove Holes and a Buxton Brewery beer quiz.

India has made chess history winning both the team golds at the Budapest Olympiad, which saw participation from a staggering 193 teams in the Open section and 181 women's teams. In the Open section, the Indian men's team of D Gukesh, R Praggnanandha, Arjun Erigaisi, Vidit Gujrathi and P Harikrishna were so dominant they finished a good four points clear of the second-placed USA. The Indian women's route to the team gold was much tighter. They had to win their match on the final day, which they did. What does the double triumph mean for Indian chess? What went into this historic achievement? And how can India build on this success? Guest: Rakesh Rao, former Deputy Editor with The Hindu's Sports Bureau. Host: G.

I talked with Carissa in early September, at an interesting juncture in her life- she had just concluded her first Chess Olympiad, and was setting out for California, soon to begin her freshman year at Stanford University. This gave Carissa an opportunity to reflect on her past and future in chess and beyond. We discussed the following questions: What went right (and wrong) for Carissa and the US Women's Olympiad Team? Why does she love the King's Indian Defense? How did she get to her current chess level, and what would she need to do to advance even more? How does she plan to balance academics and chess? Plus Carissa told some fun stories involving interactions with GM Levon Aronian, GM Magnus Carlsen, GM Garry Kasparov, and others. Timestamps of topics discussed can be found below.

This year, Chennai hosted the Chess Olympiad, a biennial chess tournament organised by the World Chess Federation (FIDE). India brought home nine medals, and saw stars, many of whom are teenagers, break out into the chess spotlight. Tamil Nadu has long been a part of Chess history. India has 75 grandmasters, of which 27 are from Tamil Nadu. So, where does the sport go from here? How does the government, and young chess fans, make use of the buzz around the sport? In this episode, The Hindu speaks with chess legend Viswanathan Anand, on the sport's boom, the pandemic's impact on training and how to get involved. Guest: Viswanathan Anand: India's first chess grandmaster, five-time world chess champion, deputy president of the World Chess Federation (FIDE) Production credit: Sonikka Loganathan and Srinivasan Ramani
This week's double episode features one more look back at the historic 2022 Chess Olympiad. We are joined by two different guests who had just returned to their homes from Chennai. Our first guest is Lula Roberts, a 24 year old popular Twitch streamer who got the chance to represent her country (Jersey) at the Women's Olympiad. Lula retells her chess results and her many memorable moments at what will hopefully be her first Olympiad of many. Speaking of many Olympiads, our second guest is return guest and award winning author and historian, IM John Donaldson. John served as captain of the United States' team for the 14th time, so was able to draw on his vast knowledge of prior Olympiads to contextualize this one. In addition to discussing the Olympiad, John is a leading on Bobby Fischer, so we discuss John's latest research on Fischer and his upcoming projects later in the interview. It was a lot of fun to get two vastly different perspectives on the Olympiad, and I am already looking forward to the next one in 2024! 0:00- Intro, brief discussion of the results of the Olympiad 4:00- Thanks to our presenting sponsors, Chessable.com, be sure to check out Grind like a Grandmaster, and Levon Aronian's new course, along with the rest of their huge catalog of chess courses. https://www.chessable.com/courses/all/new/ 4:45- Lula Roberts joins the show! 5:00- How did the opportunity for Jersey and Lula to compete in the Olympiad present itself?

For the girls of Sree Gokulam Kerala FC - India's top women's football club - the 16th of August flight between Kozhikode and Tashkent was not just between two cities. It was between two different emotions - hope and despair. Soon after landing in Uzbekistan to play in the AFC Women's Club Championship – Asia's top women's club competition -- they were told about the news. FIFA had banned the All India Football Federation (AIFF) for “excessive interference by a third party.” This action meant that the Under 17 FIFA Women's World Cup, all set to be hosted by India in October, stands suspended. The move will also have larger, adverse implications for the game in the country. It meant that the national football teams cannot take part in FIFA tournaments, which include the qualification matches for Asia Cup and for World Cup. So why did FIFA take this extreme step? The AIFF's constitution and elections were at the centre of a dispute between FIFA and the Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA). The CoA had prepared a draft constitution that was opposed by the state assembly bodies in the first place. It also decided to form an executive committee which would involve a 50-50 representation of players with voting rights and state assembly members. FIFA saw it as a violation of the rules and a deviation from what was agreed upon earlier. FIFA wants the AIFF administration to be put back in charge of day-to-day operations, a revision of the constitution and an independent electoral committee overseeing the elections. The Supreme Court told the government to take “proactive steps” with FIFA and set things right. The Under 17 Women's World Cup is scheduled to kick-off in mid-October and the ticket sales for the event has started earlier this month. Experts say even though it is difficult to put an exact number on the loss the AIFF might incur due to advertising, media and other deals, it will likely be minimal if the tournament eventually moves out of India. According to FIFA, the investment in the Under 17 FIFA World Cup tournament is budgeted at $21 million. If we look at the Under 17 Men's World Cup that India hosted, the global brand and India sponsors shelled out relatively small amounts on television advertising, while broadcaster Sony spent about Rs 50-60 crore. According to a FICCI report, the tournament recorded the highest attendance for a FIFA Youth World Cup in history and garnered the highest viewership among international football tournaments broadcasted in India. Currently, there are only global brands and no national brands associated with the Women's World Cup, but they might step in closer to the tournament. Viacom 18 is the broadcast partner for the upcoming Under-17 Women's World Cup. But more than the Women's world cup, experts say there will be bigger financial implications for the overall football ecosystem in India due to the ban. If the ban continues, AIFF will also be stripped of FIFA's funding, which could lead to stress on the finances of the federation. According to a Business Standard report, 40-50 per cent of football sponsorship money could be affected by the ban. Advertisers could also pull back some of their investments in football leagues such as the Indian Super League. After the successful hosting of the Chess Olympiad, the Under 17 Women's Football World Cup would have given another leg up to the non-cricketing sports in India, not only in terms of eyeballs but also private capital. It is unfortunate that the tournament is stuck in administrative slack.
The Chess Olympiad has ended in India. Leonid Sandler, president of the Victorian Chess Association and captain of the Australian women's team, talks about its results, favourites, the results of Australia and the closing ceremony. - В Индии завершилась Шахматная Олимпиада.

In Episode 220, I converse with Grandmaster Keith Arkell, 2014 European Senior Champion. He won the English Chess Championship in 2008. In 2014 he was European Senior (50+) Champion, and, later in the year, tied for first in the World Senior (50+) Championship, but received the silver medal on tie-break. He is the author of Arkell's Odyssey and Arkell's Endings. We speak about the humor of time, the lack of prizes in New York tournaments, playing chess in the United States versus abroad, Chess PR around the globe, his road to grandmaster, the importace of ambition rather than artificial barriers, common misconceptions about openings, the art of being well-rounded, the minority attack, inspiration from Grandmaster Ulf Andersson, the endgame grind, the psychology of draw offers, the combination of theory and practical knowledge, maintaince of skill level as a senior, predictions on the 44th Chess Olympiad 2022 and more.
Assertions of Tamil Nadu's autonomy & identity are at play in ongoing 44th Chess Olympiad, with DMK-led state govt continuing its discourse on federalism, say political observers.----more----Read the article here: https://theprint.in/india/from-bojack-in-veshti-to-black-queens-triumph-chess-olympiads-tamil-identity-politics/1066230/
First, Indian Express' Udit Misra joins host Shashank Bhargava to discuss IMF downgrading India's GDP projection, and why it has prompted mixed reactions.Next, Indian Express' Jayprakash Naidu tells us about the Mumbai police busting an international loan app scam.And in the end, Indian Express' Apurva Vishwanath talks about why the Madras High Court directed the Tamil Nadu government to include the pictures of the Prime Minister and the President in the advertisements for the ongoing Chess Olympiad.
Not the big fancy sporting hubs of Chennai or Delhi, but a town famous for its tourism and historical spectacles, Mamallapuram is hosting the Chess Olympiad. Located about 50-km from Chennai, this is the second big event the Tamil Nadu's coastal town has anchored in recent times. The first being a political one -- an informal summit between Prime Minister Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping two years ago. Mamallapuram's excellent transport connectivity, handful of luxury star hotels and resorts with beach facing rooms to incorporate influx of VVIPs, and the historical importance worked in favour of the seaport town. Also the relatively calmer environment, as compared to the big cities, meant that players, after the games, would relax in the lap of nature. After the event was pulled out of Russia due to the Ukraine war, the All India Chess Federation (AICF) sniffed an opportunity. With no financial backing or sponsors at the time, the federation went out of its way to show its interest in hosting the event. But, to host an international event of such a scale-- that usually takes years to organise-- the AICF was racing against the time. This is where the state and central government authorities stepped in. The Tamil Nadu government backed the federation by guaranteeing $10 million to put up a bid in the first place. Together, the state and the centre have allocated Rs 100 crore for the event. The Central ministries wasted no time in clearing the visas for players from over 180 countries. India's international standing in the world of chess also helped. In the last eight years, Indian chess grandmasters have more than doubled to 75. India has the world's largest chess-playing population with 33,000 internationally rated players. Despite several controversies and infightings, the Chess federation came out with flying colours in a nurturing long-term Chess ecosystem. The 44th edition of the Chess Olympiad, which is held every two years, has a record participation with 343 teams from 187 countries. Six Indian teams are competing in the Olympiad – three in each section. Five-time world champion Viswanathan Anand opted not to play in the Olympiad and has taken over the mentor role for youngsters in the Indian side. To accommodate over 2,000 players in the mix, the national chess Federation moved proactively at breakneck speed to rope in major sponsors. In addition, the AICF worked out subsidies for national federations, which lacked the resources to send teams. Several international players have taken to social media platforms to laud the arrangements. The organisers have also pulled out all stops and went on a marketing blitzkrieg in making the Olympiad a success and also to take the event deep into India and around the world. Chennai with the iconic Napier Bridge wearing chequered back and white look, a spectacle of an opening ceremony involving A R Rahman and Rajinikanth was held and a ubiquitous mascot Thambi, with folded-hand greetings, is featured everywhere from milk packets to billboards. The sponsors and authorities were also a step ahead by adopting new technologies like virtual reality and artificial intelligence to give an immersive experience to the fans. Tech Mahindra has launched Fan Nxt where users can track the board moves of top players in the event. A successful Chess Olympiad will for sure put India on a high pedestal, showcasing its abilities to host such events of scale, and hopefully more such events will follow. It will also help make chess become more mainstream.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced a Rs 3 trillion package for reforms in the power distribution sector last week, while blaming “freebies culture” for the mounting dues of the discoms. So, will this package address the problems plaguing the country's power sector? Or there is more to be done to lift it out of its current crisis? From the stalemate on power subsidies, let us move on to the one on chess boards. A small town, about 50km off Chennai, is all decked up, hosting India's first Chess Olympiad. But a lot of efforts have gone into bringing the coveted international event to Poonjeri Village in Tamil Nadu's Mamallapuram -- a UNESCO heritage site. Officials and chess wizards from 187 countries are brainstorming there. Let us move on to markets now. Domestic equity markets firmed up in July as slower FII outflows, ease in commodity prices and robust corporate earnings lifted investor spirits. But is the recent recovery sustainable or is it only a short-term bounce? While our previous segment offered a peek into the ongoing action on Mumbai's Dalal Street, our next one will help you take a tour of the country's financial alley. Google Street View was relaunched in India recently, about six years after being banned from the country. Let us know more about it in this episode of the podcast.
