Anand Symbol Of India's Tech Prowess : Russian Billionaire

World chess champion Viswanathan Anand, who will defend his title in Moscow in May next, is the symbol of India's technological prowess and has made significant contribution in globalising the game, which originally emerged in his homeland, a top Russian chess coach-turned billionaire said.

"Like Bobby Fischer, Anand is the second 'lone genius', who finally smashed the hegemony of the Soviet chess school. He can be rightfully considered the symbol of India's development into one of the mightiest technological powers of the modern world," Russian oligarch Andrei Filatov, sponsor of forthcoming match for the chess crown said in an interview.
