We can have next Chess World Champion from India by 2025: Viswanathan Anand
Anand began to groom and mentor the next batch of chess whizkids at his Westbridge Anand Chess Academy (WACA) after COVID-19 induced first lockdown in 2020. Six of India's Gen-Next talents -- Nihal Sarin, R Praggnanandhaa, Raunak Sadhwani, D Gukesh and R Vaishali and Arjun Erigiasi were inducted -- when WACA came into being in December 2020. Praggnanandhaa's (Praggu in chess fraternity) personal coach, though, is RB Ramesh.
