Viswanathan Anand is one of the most prominent names in chess today. Over the three decades since he turned Grandmaster, he has won five World Championship titles among numerous other tournaments and has continued to push past barriers to remain among the world's top chess players. His achievements have helped inspire a generation of chess players in India. Anand is an astronomy buff and an avid reader on maths economics and current affairs. He loves to travel, particularly on wildlife safaris. He supports many charitable causes, chief among them being that of children with cerebral palsy and other neurological disabilities. Susan Ninan is a sports writer with ESPN and is based in Bengaluru.

When she's not writing on sports or travelling to find a story worth writing, she loves sniffing around bookstores and backpacking, or at best making plans for the latter.
