Why Indian Games Struggle for Olympic Recognition?
Despite its global popularity, elite tournaments, and superstar players like Gukesh, Magnus Carlsen, and Praggnanandhaa, chess remains on the sidelines of the Olympic Games. In this video, we break down the real reasons behind the International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) repeated refusal to include chess — from debates over physicality and doping protocols to internal politics and global representation.
We also look at how recent events, like Gukesh’s historic win over Carlsen at Norway Chess 2025 and India’s rising dominance in the sport, are reigniting calls for change. While chess continues to thrive across platforms and nations, its Olympic exclusion raises bigger questions about what the Games truly represent in the modern era.
Through powerful visuals and hard facts, this video explores whether chess has a future on the Olympic stage — and what must change for that to happen.
If you’re a chess lover, a fan of Gukesh or Carlsen, or just curious about sports politics, this one’s for you.
