The Punjab State Chess Association has recently made the unfortunate decision to appoint individuals who have no connection to the chess community in Ferozepur as the representatives for the district's Chess Association. These appointed persons have neither played chess in Ferozepur nor participated in any organizational capacity that benefits our local players or enthusiasts. This not only undermines the integrity of our local chess community but also denies our established players and organizers the chance for rightful representation and leadership.

Ferozepur's chess community is vibrant and filled with talented individuals who have dedicated their time to promoting the game within the district. The decision to ignore these deserving individuals in favor of unknown and disconnected persons is a huge oversight that could have long-lasting negative impacts on the growth of chess in our area. Real players, who are vastly experienced and passionate about the game, should be given the opportunity to be part of decision-making bodies, ensuring that the interests of our community are represented accurately and adequately.

This wrongful appointment needs immediate review and reconsideration. We urge the Punjab State Chess Association to involve the Ferozepur chess community in future appointments to ensure transparency and fair play. By doing so, the community will continue to foster growth, talent, and enthusiasm for chess, benefiting everyone involved.

We need your support to push for this change. Stand with us to save Ferozepur Chess Association from decisions that do not reflect the community's interest. Sign this petition to demand a review and prioritize real players first. #SaveFerozepurChess #PlayersFirst #FairPlay #RealPlayersNotNames
