India treats its chess players like superstars, US sabotages theirs: Niemann
American chess Grandmaster Hans Niemann on Sunday said that the Indian government and chess federation treat their players like "superstars". "[They support] their development from an early age and reward them for their victories," the 22-year-old wrote on X (formerly Twitter). Niemann added, "The American chess federation sabotages their own. The consequences will be very clear in 5-10 years."
