Viswanathan Anand had a strong hunch that India would go on to be more than within “smelling” distance of gold at the Chess Olympiad this time.
And much to the delight of the revered Grandmaster, who played a key role in shaping some of the brightest youngsters in Indian chess right now, the country swept both the men’s and women’s gold at the 45th Olympiad in Budapest, Hungary.
