Why CHESS?
CHESS needs no introduction. It is a board game which is played indoors and is invented in India. We have seen lot of Grand Masters emerging from India ever since Vishwanathan Anand became the First GM from our country. He has inspired a lot of youngsters to take up this game as a full time profession and the dearth of knowledge, he has in this game is known worldwide. It is no surprise that he conquered the top crown not once but five times. He was the World Champion five times and is the only player who has won on all the formats of classical chess. He is a specialist in Rapid Fire round and is known for his quick moves.He has had many laurels including the Sportsperson for the year, Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna Award(first recipient) to name a few. As was rightly said by Mike Kelin, Chief Chess Officer of ChessKid, that if one starts speaking about Vishy, it would take the entire day.
After a speech by the dignatories including Vishwanathan Anand, Mike Kelin,Chief Chess Officer, Carey Fan, Chief Executive Officer, there was a Q&A session which was answered by the trio with ease.
