Congrats to BD chess team

Scott Elliott, Uttara, Dhaka

Congratulations to both the Bangladesh men's and women's chess teams at the World Olympiad in Norway! Nice job by Niaz Murshed and the 62nd ranked (according to FIDE – the FIFA of chess) men's chess team for holding the 40th ranked Belgium team to a 2-2 draw. Nice job by Rani Hamid and the women's chess team for crushing Ghana 4-0. I believe more investment and sponsorship could be made so that Bangladesh becomes a chess powerhouse. Their example of mental toughness could be positively contagious to the other sports communities in Bangladesh.
