The board itself costs little, true—but a good set
Mera beta chess seekh raha hai, uska coaching kharcha uthane ki khushi ke aage ek mahine ke pension ki baat chhoti lagti hai. Par aap sahi kehte hain — bachhon ke liye sasti cheezon mein bhi wahi gun hain jo mehenge khelon mein hain. Bas aisa kuch hona chahiye ki chhote workshops ke hisab ki tarah iske bills bhi time par aayein.
Chess is cheap, sure, but my boys in Guwahati learn coding on a second-hand laptop — that's their concentration game. Fairness isn't just about board cost; it's about what opens doors later.
Arre yaar, you're not wrong about the cost barrier—my first PC took six months of savings, and even now I flinch at the price of a good GPU. But chess faces its own quiet lottery: that kid in Patna who can't afford a ₹500 board isn't playing any strategy game, he's working. Fairness ke liye, dekho kaun actually gets to sit at the table.
