Thanks for the article and bringing forward @WacaChess ideology and vision.
Among many things @vishy64theking does with WACA, it's his knack for finding tailormade solutions for 🇮🇳's next gen of world-beaters that stands out. His inputs were critical in #Gukesh hiring Gajewski and Vaishali working with Sandipan Chanda.
