NEW DELHI: Magnus Carlsen, the five-time chess world champion, said he is pleasantly surprised with the immense enthusiasm for the game in India. Carlsen believes that this surge of interest marks the commencement of a revolutionary era, an achievement primarily attributed to the legendary Viswanathan Anand.
Carlsen, widely recognized as one of the most formidable players in chess, is currently representing the SG Alpine Warriors in the Global Chess League (GCL). He acknowledged that India's consistent production of Grandmasters holds promising prospects for the sport's future.
