Does Karnataka Chess belong to few?

The point in discussion here is whether Karnatakachess belongs to the small group of Parents and coaches who run affairs according to their wishes and their motifs.

*When one sees www.karnatakachess.com may think that only few names dominates in karnataka chess. But in reality many good performances by talents are either not showcased or being downplayed. This bad trend has been running since the new association overtook official status.

*They have been forming parallel association in districts where chess was already active.....have ignored the districts where there was a need for development.

*They have failed to take action on SKDCA like associations which haven't conducted any district championship.

* The official website and official blogs have been a great farce......a mockery of the system itself.

Go through them.....write your opinion.......your solution......

SKDCA and their Hypocrisy

SKDCA ( South Kanara District Chess association) is a parallel organisation to the pre existing Chess Association, Dakshina Kannada which was acting as the official chess body for the combined Districts of D.K and Udupi.

The Office Bearers of the SKDCA comprises most the parents of the chess players. Therefore thier interest in chess can be easily accredited to the known fact. The Secretary of the recent formed UKCA had his own hidden agenda to run the State. Formation of SKDCA is one of such sly measures for which some of the ambitious parents easily fell prey for.

It must have been more than two years after the formation of SKDCA, they have failed to cater the need of chess at grassroot level. There has been no District Level Selection tournaments/ Championship either for Open Level or for Age groups. Of course, there has been few State Championships, ironically the category Under 13 in 2007, Under 15 ( Sub junior) in 2008 were the categories belonging to the children of the office beareres ( to mention-Working President).

Chess in D.K being rejuvenated since 2001, we have are proud to claim that DCS has produced many State Champions, national and international level talents and a big list of FIDE Rated players.

Inspite of Mangalorean kids performance, SKDCA honored Bangalorean kids with motif of playing down the local talents ( Although Andrea Dsouza of Mangalore was State Champion in U-9 Girls and Shabdik Varma of Dharmastala was the State Runner Up, in National under 9 Chess Championship held at bangalore in 2007 Bangalorean Children were falicitated by SKDCA at Bangalore. ).

few things important to be discussed:

* Without any local tournaments how can the chess at grassroot level flourish?

* Where have gone the District Championships in Age Group and Open Group?

* Why there are conduction of some selective State Championships? Why not Under 7? Why not under 19? Why not Under 25?.....

* The one and only selection tournament conducted by SKDCA was for National city Championship. Was it so important?

* Why the SKDCA failed to protect the interest of the players when they were victimised for asking justice?

* How the National A chess Championship is going to help Dakshina kannada when there is nobody still at that level from the ditsrict? Remember the same budget can be used for 50 local level tournaments which can help development in a better way.

* Why the UKCA is not conducting Championships in pure classical format? SKDCA doesn't dare to question?
