Our Story
Our journey began when a group of individuals with a shared love for chess came together, representing a wide spectrum of backgrounds and professions. Each member brought a unique perspective to the table, whether it was knowledge about chess, passion for teaching or devotion towards society. This Godly planned flair led us to find a common bond in the intricate game of chess.
Under the soothing environment at Cup Of Joy cafe, we realized that chess was more than just a pastime; it was a source of joy, challenge, and unity. Inspired by this shared passion, we founded the Utkarsh Sports Federation (UKSF), where our mission is to unite people from all walks of life through the universal language of chess. Our society has evolved into a diverse community that hosts inclusive tournaments, welcoming players of all ages and skill levels. Through chess, we believe in breaking down barriers, transcending backgrounds, and creating connections that endure.
