I have a dream . . . . . . . !! (05.07.2010):
For a long time I have nurtured a dream to open a world class chess academy, which was basically inspired after seeing the Singapore Chess Academy during the Singapore International Chess Convention 2007.
Well, the dream would be turning into reality soon!!
Don Bosco High School, Borivali (which had played host to the 1st ICS FIDE Rating Tournament in April 2010) has been kind enough to allow me to set up an international standard chess centre!! Aptly named as the 'Vishy Anand Chess Hall' (Don Bosco High School is Anand's Alma Mater!!), it is in the final stages of completion.
Keep watching this space and my blog. |
