Listen, in our boardroom, we saw Anand's adaptability as pure brand safety. When he dominated both rapid and classical formats, it signaled that chess wasn't some dusty intellectual exercise—it was dynamic, perfect for modern media partnerships. His real impact? Making a cerebral sport marketable to the Indian middle class, which made our sponsorship of the National Championship a very easy 'ashe' from the finance team. My own life says his legacy isn't just in trophies, but in the cafes where kids now stare at chessboards, not just phones, which is why my food truck park finally agreed to host a local tournament last summer.
