Chess

A mad collection of amusingly carved pieces moved over a checkered board of black and white, what more, two people the so called players already considered nuts by the pedestrians. It deserves to be better explained by someone who had championed it 9 consecutive years. Apart from the intricacies of the game, it holds a place close to my heart as it has totally radicalized my life, family and outlook. Now my younger brother is tracing the steps to glory in this magnificent game. It has ultimately turned more than a game, a way of life I will say. I once wrote an article on Degree 361, NIT Rourkela official magazine on 'How it feels to play a chess game' under the title 'Callousness of a Conniving Mind'.
