Delhi’s Chief Minister, Atishi, has responded to Grandmaster Tania Sachdev, who expressed her disappointment about the lack of recognition for chess players in the city. Tania took to social media to share her feelings after not receiving acknowledgment from the Delhi government for her achievements in chess over the years.
Tania has represented Delhi since 2008 and has won many awards, including a bronze medal in the 2022 Chess Olympiad and hopes for gold in 2024. She pointed out that while other states celebrate their sports champions, Delhi has not recognized her or her teammates’ successes.
Atishi saw Tania’s post and invited her to a meeting to discuss how they can better support chess players in Delhi. She wrote, “Hi Tania, we have always supported our athletes, especially in schools. I’d love to meet you to understand what more can be done for chess players. My office will be in touch!”
Tania welcomed this response and is excited about the chance to share her ideas on how to improve chess support in the city.
