Bhaskar, father of one of India's top girl players Savitha Shri, is present at the Commonwealth Championships 2018. We caught up with him and asked him about his daughter's chess career. Savitha is under-9 and under-11 national champion. In order to boost his daughter's chess career he gave up his job as an electrician in Singapore and now travels with his daughter. His only income is through rent and making ends meet has not been easy. Yet, the family powers on!
