Global Chess Foundation has impacted the lives of the underprivileged section of the population by teaching chess to the Tribal children in the forested areas of West Bengal. We also teach chess at the orphanages, teaching the children thinking skills. Chess is also used as a tool for healing patients. We teach chess to the patients of Tata Cancer Hospital at Premashray, a hostel for the underprivileged Cancer Patients at New Town, Kolkata.
