I played the game! Didn’t realize black could move her queen till it was too late. Amazing metaphor and initiative.

Great initiative indeed! Don’t know about winning, but after a couple of attempts I did manage to come up with a way to empower the queen and...equalize. 😇😊 pic.twitter.com/YSy1qE7wOr

Amazing insight to connect chess with women empowerment. I agree with a #PowerlessQueen, it's difficult to win. In chess or in society.

Hey @vishy64theking it’s a challenge! Take the #PowerlessQueen challenge on https://t.co/enTGAXzUK1 and tell us if you can win without the Queen
— Tania Sachdev (@TaniaSachdev) March 8, 2018

Something for all of us to think about. To take action. And to change. Just as in chess one can't win if the queen is powerless, how can a nation succeed if half of its population is powerless. Take up the challenge on https://t.co/AfGF93l7Vx @NanhiKali #powerlessqueen pic.twitter.com/z6cW2nFDHi
