Chess News: Why CPF wants Chess.com to be excluded from banned betting sites?

The Chess Players Forum is in the process of writing it to the Andhra Pradesh government seeking removal of the ban on the website Chess.com. This is to be recalled that in a recent amendment of the AP Gaming Act, the Andhra government banned 132 websites to prevent online gaming, gambling and betting. Chess.com is among those. Officials of CPF are of the opinion that Chess.com is not a gambling site and rather a useful platform for upcoming and seasoned chess players, where they can play, learn and improve their game by various ways.
