Our Mission
At American Bagh-chal, we strive to crown a Champion yearly, also having Regional and State competitions. Our mission is to bring people together and create lasting memories through the power of play. Bagh-chal means Tiger Moving Game and is a strategic, two-player board game that originated in Nepal. It has been played for over a thousand years. That makes "Bagh-chal the Grandfather of International Chess(tm)."
