Anand to launch chess academy
Chennai: Legendary Indian chess player Viswanathan Anand has joined hands with WestBridge Capital to launch a chess academy, through which the five-time world champion will train youngsters. The academy, named WestBridge-Anand Chess Academy, has taken on board five of the country’s most promising players to be trained by Anand. The initial list of trainees and grantees of the WACA Fellowship are: R Praggnanandhaa (15 years old), Nihal Sarin (16), Raunak Sadhwani (15), D Gukesh (14) and Praggnanandhaa’s sister R Vaishali (19). “Chess has made a lot of progress in the last 20 years. Many players in the country have the potential, under the right guidance, to make it to the top ten and even become world champions,” Anand said. PTI

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now
in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is
run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.
The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any
bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and
partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense
of the term.
The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
