Gukesh D becomes India's no 1 chess player, overtaking Viswanathan Anand
The Statesman
|August 05, 2023
Grandmaster (GM) Viswanathan Anand was there on both occasions when an Indian player overtook him in Live Rating to become India's No.1 chess player -- first when Pentala Harikrishna did in March 2016 and again on Thursday when Dommaraju Gukesh surpassed him in ratings at the FIDE World Cup in Baku, Azerbaijan.
-
In March 2016, Anand was playing at the event and won back his position as India's highest-rated Indian player.
On Thursday when Gukesh overtook him, Anand was in Baku as one of the official commentators for the event. He faced questions over the possibility that Gukesh will overtake him in ratings before the start of the 17-year-old player's second game against GM Misratdin Iskandarov in the first round of the FIDE World Cup in Baku.
