Five-time world champion Viswanathan Anand on Tuesday hoped for more women’s chess players to break through the ranks in the country.
Anand was in conversation with R. B. Ramesh at Sportstar’s first-ever South Sports Conclave here. “It is very easy to feel very optimistic about India’s youngsters on the boys’ side but not on the girls’ side,” Anand said during a panel discussion titled ‘Chess and Chennai’.
