from Express Sports · host Express Audio

This week on Game Time, hosts Vinayakk Mohanarangan and Amit Kamath are joined by Mayank Chaudhary to discuss a possible power shift in women’s chess. For decades, the game has been dominated by Chinese players — but with two Indian women recently battling it out for the World Cup title, while two Chinese players competed for third place, signs are emerging that a new Indian era could be on the horizon. Tune in for insights on what this moment means for Indian chess and how the landscape of the women’s game is evolving.Produced by Niharika Nanda and Shashank BhargavaEdited by Suresh Pawar
