Only British or Irish citizens are eligible to play. That means British-Indians and Irish-Indians are welcome to play, but Indian nationals (and anyone else of a foreign nationality) cannot enter.

Why are Indians no longer allowed to play in the British Open Chess championship?

Just so it's clear, it's Indian-nationals and people of any foreign nationality that cannot enter. British or Irish citizens of Indian descent are welcome to enter. The championship was closed to foreign nationals after a successful streak of wins from Indian participants caused there to be next to no interest from actual British entrants the next year. Because the tournament was no longer serving the purpose it was created for, the rules were changed so that only British or Irish citizens (of any ethnicity) could enter.


Are Indians not allowed to play in the British open chess championship?

Yes, but to clarify - the event was open to anyone in the Commonwealth, but after 2003, the rules were changed so that only British and Irish players could play. That would include British people of Indian descent, whether they were born in Britain or were naturalised citizens. But an Indian national could no longer enter, same for any other Commonwealth nation.

Why were America Indians not allowed to vote?

Teddy Roosevelt was rather pissed at the American Indians. He created the Anti-Injun Act. This decreed that American Indians were no longer allowed to reside in the Americas. This was not very popular. The American Revolution was fought. American Indians got the right to vote and hold slaves.


Why are Indians no longer allowed to play in british open chess championship?

Originally it was open to any commonwealth citizen. In 2002, a large amount of Indian winners causes there to be little interest in 2003 from any British players. Because the event was no longer serving the interest of British players as intended, the rules were changed in 2004 so that only British or Irish nationals could play. Citizenship is the only thing that matters, ethnicity does not. Someone who was born in India and naturalised in the UK is free to enter. Someone born in the UK to Indian parents, is also free to enter. However an Indian national, like anyone else from other Commonwealth nations, cannot enter.
