Gajewski the 2nd with multiple roles

He had just cracked this one-sentence response when he was asked why he recommended Grzegorz Gajewski to work exclusively with D Gukesh.

When the Pole was working with a lot of Indian minds at the Westbridge Anand Chess Academy (WACA), the five-time world champion and the Pole, who was part of Anand's team at the World Championship at Sochi in 2014, exchanged a few words. "It wasn't about convincing (Gajewski)," Anand said. "They tried and it worked."
