Tania Sachdev, a Women’s Grandmaster (WGM) and FIDE International Master (IM), has been a prominent figure in Indian women’s chess for over 15 years, however, she is not happy with the lack of recognition some players get as she expressed frustration over the lack of support for chess, particularly from the Delhi state government, through a heartfelt post on the social media platform X.

“Having played for India since 2008 it’s disheartening to see a lack of recognition from the Delhi government for achievements in chess. States that support and celebrate their champions, directly inspire excellence and motivate talent. Sadly, Delhi has yet to take this step,” she said.

Her post, a passionate plea for greater acknowledgment and encouragement for the game, quickly gained traction online. Many chess players and fans rallied behind her, applauding her courage to highlight the authorities’ negligence.

A glimpse into Tania Sachdev’s career 

Born in Delhi, the 38-year-old chess prodigy began her journey at a young age and has since achieved remarkable milestones. She earned the prestigious titles of Woman Grandmaster (WGM) and International Master (IM), joining the ranks of the world’s elite chess players.

Her accomplishments include becoming the Under-12 Indian Champion in 1998 and winning a bronze medal at the World Under-12 Chess Championship. In 2000, she claimed victory in the Asian Under-14 Girls Tournament, followed by a triumph in the Asian Under-20 category in 2002.

In 2005, Tania achieved the Woman Grandmaster title, becoming the eighth Indian woman to do so. She went on to win the Asian Women’s Chess Championship twice and earned the International Master title in 2008.
