    He's been called Britain's "greatest chess prospect in a generation." But when his father's work visa runs out next month, 9-year-old Shreyas Royal must return to India, according to Britain's Home Office.https://nyti.ms/2AWBzzb

        Why should he be treated any differently? It’s not like chess is an essential life skill. He can apply to come back himself when he’s of age and put his occupation down as ‘chess player’ and see how far that gets him.

        Perhaps I don’t understand UK immigration laws, but wouldnt being on a temporary visa mean that he is actually India’s greatest chess prospect in a generation?

        I’m not sure I understand the point of the story? The young man is an excellent chess player, I’m delighted for him, but because of this his father’s visa should be renewed? Is that how visa applications are merited or awarded?

        Rightfully, he's not British but Indian. So, to consider him "Britain's greatest chess prospect" is an incorrect statement.

        Chess originated here.we have some great chess players world champions. So if the prodigy comes back he will be better off. I am ashamed of his parents logic.

        Probably the boy only knows Britain as his home, so that's a bit sad. BUT immigration laws are what they are and I don't see why the outrage. I'm an immigrant in Europe and i know my children won't have Ius Solis if they are born here, so just renew the visa, that's it!

        I care. I don’t won’t brilliant immigrants kept out by a hostile immigration policy. The U.K. needs all the talent we can get.

        It’s not hostile, by any definition. Most other countries have much harsher rules. UK citizens working in the Middle East, for example.

        No, because the rule of law matters. What's with the idiotic spelling? Went to public school?
