<p>In India, we are fond of sports. We Indians love cricket, there are many prodigies who are in the way to nail the international chess board and there are other games too. Broadly speaking there are two type of games:</p>

<ol>
	<li>Indoor Games</li>
	<li>Outdoor Games</li>
</ol>

<h2><strong>Indoor Games</strong></h2>

<p>Indoor games are those games which are played inside a stadium or a closed environment. Indoor games may involve very less physical activity. They are away from the possibility of interference due to weather (rain, wind, etc). These games involve a very small play area, usually limited to a single tabletop.</p>

<p>Now, we will learn about the indoor games and we will begin from the game which originated within India.</p>

<h2><strong>Chess</strong></h2>

<p>Chess first appeared India in the 6th century AD and, by the 10th century, had spread around Asia. It is a board game played between two players. The board is specially designed with pieces of contrasting colours, commonly white and black. The representatives of 15 countries met in Paris in 1924 to organise the first permanent international chess federation, known as FIDE (Fédération Internationale des Échecs). A grandmaster (GM) in chess must have attained an “Elo rating” of at least 2500; although he need not maintain this level to obtain or keep the title. As of May of 2023, the number 1 player in chess is GM Magnus Carlsen of Norway. Amongst Indian chess players there are 82 grandmasters. V<strong>iswanathan “Vishy” Anand</strong> is an Indian chess grandmaster and a five-time world chess champion. He became the first grandmaster from India in 1988. There are three types of chess tournaments:</p>

<ol>
	<li>Classical: The classical format of the game has no time control but has a total time limit of 10 hours.</li>
	<li>Blitz: Blitz is a format, where each player gets a time control of three minutes and two additional seconds to make a move.</li>
	<li>Rapid: Rapid is a slower format than blitz. Here, a player has 15 minutes, plus 10 additional seconds to make a move, starting from move 1. Our Vishy is the current world champion in this format.</li>
</ol>
