Anish Giri thought it's a World Championship, then thought you become a pilot at the Total Chess World Championship Tour Pilot event - but now understands this tournament is just for fun. He says - " It is a great challenge for me, I feel very brave to show up here!"

India's greatest sporting achievement in the past four decades. Not because we have made world champions, but because we have created an unbelievably efficient talent pipeline! @ChessbaseIndia
With all 100 Indian grandmasters still alive, close to 90% active, and first of them still being the world's 14th ranked
Imagine them standing together for a photo in the same order they were crowned as GM. Will be one for the ages 🔥
