NEW DELHI: Five-time chess world champion Vishwanathan Anand and four other Indian Grandmasters (GM) will play simultaneous online exhibition matches against other chess players on Thursday to raise funds for Covid-19 relief in the country. "We all know India is struggling hard against COVID-19. At this time, we all have been affected in some way. I don't think there is a single person young or old who has not been affected by this," Anand said in a video message posted on Chess.com.
Koneru Humpy, Dronavalli Harika, Nihal Sarin and Praggnanandhaa Rameshbabu are the four other Indian GMs who will be taking part in the event. IANS
