One more record is going to be broken...........this time mass chess playing

Friends,

See the photo first,

This photo is taken from my office window. Ground is called "University Ground", which is popular for large, grand scale celebrations. This time one very large scale Government function is going to be organize here called "SWARNIM CHESS MAHOTSAV". Actual event will be held on 24th dec, but preparations are going day and night since last 10 days.

Four years ago Mexico City got into the Guinness Book of Records by staging simultaneous exhibitions for 14,000 chess enthusiasts. On December 24 the city of Ahmedabad in India is set to break the record with 20,000 participants. It promises to be a visual spectacle, with University Grounds turned into a giant chess board with 64 alternating black and white squares. 

I will surely post actual event photos soon. Keep visiting.
