Chennai city is all set to host the upcoming 44th Chess Olympiad which will be held from July 28 – August 10. To celebrate the occasion, the iconic Napier Bridge has been decked up as a chess board. The pictures of Napier Bridge painted in the pattern of a chess board are now going viral on social media.
Tamil Nadu’s additional chief secretary for Environment, Climate Change and Forest, Supriya Sahu, has recently shared the clip of Napier Bridge in this new avatar. “Chennai the Chess Capital of India is all set to host the grand, Chess Olympiad 2022. The iconic Napier Bridge is decked up like a Chess Board. Check it out,” she tweeted.
Napier Bridge was also showcased in the recently released teaser of the Chess Olympiad. This teaser was unveiled by Superstar Rajinikanth. Vignesh Shivan directed this teaser while Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman scored the music for it.
The chess Olympiad will be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The event was scheduled to be held in Moscow but has been shifted to Chennai due to the Russia-Ukraine war.
