CHENNAI: As chess makes a return to the Asian Games for the first time since the 2010 Guangzhou edition in China, India will be hoping for a medal rush. The AICF (All India Chess Federation), on Saturday, named five-time former World champion Viswanathan Anand as the team mentor. The AICF also released a 10-member probables list each in men and women. The final list of five players will be named in April.
"We have a very strong chance of finishing with at least two gold medals out of the four events. Both our women and men are capable of delivering the goods at high-profile tournaments over the years and we expect that to continue," Bharat Singh Chauhan, AICF secretary, told TOI.
