For the past three decades, one sportsman whose name has been synonymous with excellence and dignity is Grandmaster Viswanathan Anand. “Yes, he’s quite a chess fan, and comes a couple of times to play chess.

And I’m happy to say that a lot of youngsters are taking up chess and that’s very, very heartening to see,” says Anand.
