In a world battling addiction, one Kerala village found a genius solution — chess.
Once plagued by alcoholism, Marottichal was trapped in a cycle of poverty and substance abuse. That changed in the 1980s, when Charaliyil Unnikrishnan, a local hero, returned with a mission.
He didn’t just fight alcoholism — he replaced it.
Today, with 75% of residents playing chess, Marottichal is a village where minds are sharper than bottles.
