Father of Indian Chess might sound like hyperbole but in the case of Vishy it is one hundred percent true.

[@akashkale6910]

It’s not father of Indian chess, she said ‘Father of Indian chess boom’ and that exactly what he is.

[@PS-ej2xn]

@@akashkale6910 You are technically right. To associate Chess in India with any one modern person is surely blasphemous. On the international stage, I would still consider Anand to be the Father of Indian Chess.

[@badrinarayanb3140]

Vishy & Kramnik are two legends of the game. Both of them grab the attention wherever they go, but for different reasons and in different ways!! Be like Vishy!!😊

[@IndoTitus_Pullo]

Watching Vishy roam around looking at games of Indian players gives me surreal feeling like a farmer looking at his crops with a sense of satisfaction. ❤

[@ritwikraj8273]

Man is Happy.

Not to forget Sagar and Samay popularizing the sport. Literally it has grown organically without system support.

[@ashwine326]

He played chess when it wasn’t cool ❤

[@johnrichardson7629]

He made it cool in his homeland

[@nandag535]

Great human being n Godfather to all youngsters

[@Phurngirathaana]

How did Vishy get so good with nothing! Imagine if he had the support these kids get!

[@Eternal-Snooze-Loop]

I also wonder that once. He was a lone wolf and managed to get at the top.

[@mohansharma651]

Vishy sir is an inspiration to millions and billions out there.. he's my goat my hero.. Carlsen Kasparov had a huge support system so it was obvious for them to be top players and not trying to downbad or saying anything bad about them they are legends .. but vishy sir he was there all alone from the starting.. he worked hard on his own .. for me hes the goat in true sense i know some will come try defame him nd say bad things but okay

[@rajattiwari30]

[@codenamerishi]

goes to show that in sports it's all about creating a 'scene' and not where are you from, if you have a good scene then great sportsperson can come.

[@nalinikoutha2091]

prag is not playing in this tournament. he needs to up his game

[@siddharthpandey9609]

He needs rest for some time

[@Phurngirathaana]

A draw is better than losing

[@Dev_712]

He has been solid defensively. Even with objectively worse positions, he has defended phenomenally

[@BetaMale420]

Nihal is a disappointment. He will never be a top 5 player.

[@Eternal-Snooze-Loop]

He isn't fully focused on chess rn i think. He still gives time to studies.

[@PrithviEarth-cs1wj]

Choti bachi ho kya ?
