A former professor in Chennai is trying to take chess to children from disadvantaged backgrounds. R Raghavan, an engineering graduate, a teacher and an international-ranked chess player, is coaching kids from poor backgrounds who cannot afford training. 
“I have attended chess tournaments across the country, and my ob had helped me fund my expenses. It helped me get the international rating,” said Raghavan.
Raghvan, 32, once came across an interview of a Sakthivel, a six-year-old boy from Arakkonam. He excelled in chess but couldn’t afford proper coaching.
