Anand loss is not a blow to Indian Chess: GM Parimarjan Negi

CHESS-WORLD-INDIA-NORWAY

Magnus Carlsen

The Anand – Carlsen World Chess Championship 2013 has given India a great chance to build on the hype that has been created and the All India Chess Federation must capitalise on the wave to help chess grow in India.

In a most sensible reaction – the first we’re reading in India by an Indian Grandmaster on the subject of Anand’s loss – the young talent from New Delhi told NNIS Sports that it would be great if we had more strong chess tournaments in India as most youngsters have to go to Europe to play which is expensive and not very easy.

GM Parimarjan Negi said Anand’s loss is not a big blow to Indian chess at all and the best needs to be made out of the momentum that has been created for chess in India. Now isn’t that the most sensible reaction AND accurate statement we’ve heard in India so far on the World Chess Championship 2013?
