Viswanathan Anand

Viswanathan Anand

Five-Time World Chess Champion

Viswanathan Anand is a five-time World Chess Champion and the first grandmaster from India, a title he earned in 1988 at age 18. He held the World Chess Championship across multiple formats between 2000 and 2013, and remains one of the most successful and widely respected players in the sport's history. Known as much for his calm, incisive analysis as for his play, Anand has spoken widely on how competitive chess was transformed by artificial intelligence — and what that transformation revealed about the value of human judgment.
