Senior national chess arbiter

Hyderabad District Democratic Chess Association: The cruel act of barring an 8-year old little girl, Jasveen Kaur, from playing in the Under 11 Telangana state chess selection tournament by the Telangana State Chess Association (TSCA) President K.S.Prasad has intensified the ‘pawn/sepoy’ mutiny in the state.

Parents of several little chess players decided to boycott the Telangana Under 11 state selection tournament till Kaur was allowed to play the tournament. Now efforts are on to form chess associations in all the districts in the state and seek government recognition.
