About Chess-A-Thon
Chess-a-Thon, the first ever Chess Tournament organized by team Tech Janta Party. This time, we’re trading keyboards for chessboards, proving that our strategies extend beyond just debugging code. Whether you're a grandmaster in the making or just here for the fun, our tournament is all about big brain moves, unexpected blunders, and of course, bragging rights. Checkmate or check luck — either way, it's going to be a blast! ♟
