My simple and clear solution to deter chess cheating:
1) Delay broadcast by 30 minutes
2) No electronics allowed (currently in place)
3) Spectators first 15-30 minutes only
4) 1st cheating offense = 2-5 year ban
5) 2nd cheating offense = lifetime ban

First of all, I have no idea about that account. I have never seen it. I do not know how it is there. Secondly, DO NOT ever question me what I follow or not. You have zero right to ever question me. Thirdly, DO NOT speak to me in that tone. I am not some child you can speak to

These two will continue to challenge one another, and other young talented Indian players, to the pinnacle! And on top of it, they are all so humble. Such an exciting time for chess in India! 🇮🇳

When I was 4, I was told chess is not for girls. When I aimed to be a GM, I was told that it's impossible for women. When I beat men in chess, many refused to shake hands. Now when my teams win, some male coaches do the same. Never let naysayers dictate you!
