Chess Great Susan Polgar Recalls PM Modi’s Letter Honouring Her Role In Shaping Indian Chess
Prime Minister Narendra Modi: Legendary chess player Susan Polgar has recalled the day when Prime Minister Narendra Modi wrote to her on the eve of Republic Day in 2022 for playing an important role in the formative years of young Indian chess players.
PM Modi recently congratulated world champion D Gukesh for his first-ever classical chess victory against world no. 1 Magnus Carlsen in Round 6 of Norway Chess 2025. The Hungarian great has also praised the Prime Minister for his interest in chess and supporting his country’s players.
"A few years ago, I received this from Prime Minister Modi for my work with Indian students and support for Indian players. His office contacted me directly for my address so they can express his letter. I did not ask for it but appreciated his gesture. It is nice that he (even through his assistants) supports and encourages Indian chess players and athletes in other sports," she posted on X with a copy of a letter she had received from PM Modi in 2022.
