Can we change the national game to Chess?

[deepakraam]

Recently we are seeing a lot of Indians winning chess competitions abroad and donning the role of grandmaster.Ofcourse the world Grandmaster is from our country Mr.Viswanathan Anand.We also famous names like Humpy,Hariharan who are going places in Chess.So can we change the national games to chess.Moreover,India is known for the human resources it has.Number of chess players entering the global arena is another proof for this.This will increase the brand image of India.

Wats ur say?

Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Definitely yes. Indian Minds are praised world wide. So, why not the mind game chess be made our national game.

[Ctharanath]

Yes off course, one reason for this is our Indians are very good and they have made remarkable achievements in this compared to any other games.

It is true that Indians are doing wonders in the field of chess. But it will be too early to declare it as a national game. Rather strong policies should be made to implemented and promote it.

No need to change.
just only one victory doesn't mean to change it

[deepakraam]

I agree that once victory is not all about but think about the prospect of Hockey in India.It has been our national game for sometime and this Olympics we havn't qualified for playing in China.Moreover we aren't winning games in Hockey.Considering this we are going places in Chess and this is a mind game which Indians are famous for.Moreover it doesn't involve any cost or damages and you don't need to have a great physique to play this game.Ofcourse you need a mental physique to play.We have enough resources in our country to train people.With this scenario I think we can make a mark in Chess if we have a solid support from the Govt in the form of funds and exposure.

why can't we change it?
