Anshul Bhatt — the bright star of Indian bridge

The game of bridge is mostly associated with grey hair, as it is more a cerebral game like chess. Just the way a bunch of young players are projecting India as a super power in chess, there is a boy who promises to set a trend in motion and do what Viswanathan Anand did to Indian chess, providing a brilliant identity.

Anshul Bhatt may be taking the baby steps in the game, but he has already won three gold medals in the World Youth Championship last year in Italy.

The president of the World Bridge Federation (WBF), Giannarigo Rona, was quite impressed with Anshul’s performance and said, “His gold medal and championship win have the potential to do to the game what Viswanathan Anand’s early success did to chess.”
