What does it take to become a five-time World Chess Champion? In this Tribune exclusive, Deputy Editor Jupinderjit Singh sits down with Viswanathan Anand to unpack Lightning Kid — a deeply personal book that draws 64 life lessons from 64 squares of a chessboard. From childhood struggles to grandmaster glory, Anand reflects on the roles of talent, discipline, and the parents who shaped him into a legend.

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).
