What it means for your child
Outside Gurugram and Faridabad, a Haryana child has very few rated events nearby, so most of their chess will be online. That works when it's done well: level-matched opponents, a coach who looks at the games, and a regular tournament to play in.
For families in Gurugram and Faridabad, Delhi's busy calendar is close by: see our Delhi NCR page.
