Visvanathan Anand spoke about the controversial charity chess match against Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath. Kamath was caught cheating during the biggest chess charity event. The incident happened during India’s biggest-ever chess fundraiser event in which the Indian chess grandmaster and former world chess champion were playing against many celebrities. Kamath’s chess profile was banned for violating ‘Fair Play’ policy.
The event was held to raise funds for ‘The Akshaya Patra Foundations COVID-19’ relief feeding efforts. It was held on June 13 at 5 PM and was live-streamed on Chess.com, India’s official YouTube channel.
Anand had to play 10 Indian celebrities and business leaders in simultaneous games. The celebrities included actors Aamir Khan, Kiccha Sudeep and Riteish Deshmukh, singer Arijit Singh, singer-songwriter Ananya Birla, cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal, Manu Kumar Jain – MD of Xiaomi India, Nikhil Kamath – Co-founder of Zerodha, producer Sajid Nadiadwala and Prachura Padakannaya.
