Chennai: Viswanathan Anand and five other leading Indian players will compete in an online chess exhibition on April 11 to raise funds for country's fight against Covid-19. The Indians will take on players from across the world on the portal chess.com.The event will be streamed live on chess.com, where all donations made will be sent to the PM's CARES Fund. To participate in the event, players must have a chess.com blitz or FIDE standard rating of under 2000 and will be required to make a donation during the registration process. A guaranteed game against Anand requires a minimum donation of $150. However, a $25 registration fetches the chance to play any two of the six Indian stars, one of whom may be Anand.
