Why Chess for the Physically Disabled?

On the chessboard, ability of mind is the only thing that moves the pieces.

An Equal Battlefield

Chess is one of the very few competitive sports where a physically disabled player competes with able-bodied players on completely equal terms — no separate rules, no concessions on the board.

A Path to Recognition

Our players progress from district qualifiers to CFPD national championships, FIDE-rated events and IPCA world championships — earning ratings, titles and state honour.

Dignity & Community

Every approved player receives an official MPCFPD ID card, access to coaching camps, travel support for nationals, and a community that celebrates ability over disability.
