Hard to compete with Indian players: Niemann on 'unfortunate state' of American chess

American grandmaster Hans Niemann highlighted the "unfortunate state" of American chess, saying he had to personally finance his coaching. His statement comes after American and world's youngest GM Abhimanyu Mishra said he'd switch federations if USA's lack of support continues. "It's hard to compete with Indian and Uzbek players who have unlimited resources in comparison," Niemann added.
