Nava Nalanda hosts Chess Tournament

The origin of Chess lies in India and it is said that it has evolved from the Indian game ‘Chaturanga’ before the 600 AD. The game had spread throughout Asia and parts of Europe and eventually took its present form. Chess is one of the most competitive indoor games and is pretty exciting to watch. Recently such a competitive tournament was organized at Nava Nalanda Bhavan by the Nava Nalanda Alumni Association and Nava Nalanda Group of Schools.
