THE ANDHRA PRADESH government's order of October 27, banning online gaming sites to restrict betting, has had the chess playing fraternity up in arms, as the website chess.com is one among the 132 websites blocked in the state.
The Chess Players Forum (CPF), an association of chess players in India, planned to send a letter Wednesday to the Andhra Pradesh government seeking removal of the ban on the website, reports TNIE. Some prominent chess players from the state were expected to endorse the letter.
