[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

India has hit a century in chess!

Exceptional isn’t it?

India is now home to a hundred chess Grandmasters!

Congratulations to Anuj Shrivatri on becoming India’s 100th Chess Grandmaster! What a wonderful achievement it is.

India reaching 100 Grandmasters is a remarkable milestone that reflects the immense talent, dedication and hard work of our players as well as the growing popularity of chess among our youth.

It is particularly heartening to see young chess talents emerging from different parts of the country and making their mark on the global stage.

May this achievement inspire many more youngsters to take up chess and pursue excellence.

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

Congratulations to our Chess players! Their passion and determination are exemplary.

May these successes motivate several more youngsters to play chess and excel.

🥈 Divya Deshmukh - Silver
🥉 Vantika Agrawal - Bronze
🥉 Koneru Humpy - Bronze

Three Olympiads. Three consecutive Gaprindashvili Cups. 🇮🇳

Indian chess isn’t just producing champions, we are building an era.

Our objective was to make the ancient game of chess more popular than people thought it could ever be…

To make it vie with spectator sports for the passion & participation of audiences…

To remind young people that this great game can be every bit as absorbing & exciting as the best video games…

And finally, to bring the phenomenal emotion & experience of being part of a team to the brilliant players of what has traditionally been a lonely sport.

They have to devise collective strategies. Share the pain & pleasure of victories & losses. And leave their egos behind, as Magnus did when he gave his Player of the Match trophy to a teammate.

All of that is visible in these videos, which encapsulate the energy & excitement of the Tech Mahindra Global Chess League, Season 4, which concluded in Bengaluru last evening.

But the image I will carry with me forever is of the teams in their “dugouts,” collectively cheering each other on.

A radically new image of this ancient game.

A huge ‘thank you’ to the players, the franchise owners, the fans, the tournament officials, the commentators, our partners & sponsors, @vishy64theking & Team @GCLlive !

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[Tania Sachdev @TaniaSachdev]

For all the times sport makes news for the wrong reasons, love seeing this make headlines. Magnus gets player of the match and hands it to Vidit because he felt Vidit deserved it more. No controversy no drama just a great sporting moment ♟️❤️

GREAT GESTURE BY MAGNUS CARLSEN!

“I do not deserve this Player of the Match trophy as much as the man who won us the match.”

Magnus Carlsen hands his Player of the Match trophy to Vidit Gujrathi. 🥹❤️

Chess on the esports stage hits different 🙌

[Ivan Bashkirov @ivanibash]

The most fun title at this year's EWC is actually.. chess.

Not least because of @DavidHowellGM and @TaniaSachdev commentary. Absolute top.
