What our Players say

One of my favourite quotes is this one by Margaret Mead - "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed individuals can change the world. In fact, it's the only thing that ever has." I truly believe the Bangalore Chess Club is a great example of what a few committed individuals can accomplish!
