"India's achievement in reaching the pinnacle of success at the Chess Olympiad on Sunday has been aptly compared to India's triumph in the 1983 Cricket World Cup and Abhinav Bindra's victory in winning India's first individual gold medal at the 2008 Olympics. Other groundbreaking accomplishments that come to mind include Neeraj Chopra's historic gold in athletics in 2021 and India's first-ever Thomas Cup victory in badminton in 2022. However, the most direct link to this chess success can be traced back to Viswanathan Anand's World Chess Championship win in 2000. His triumph has since served as a powerful inspiration for generations of Indian chess players. This success sparked a chess revolution in India, leading to an explosion of talent, and by 2010, India had produced 23 Grandmasters."
"It is no coincidence that India has won gold medals in both the men's and women's categories at the Chess Olympiad. This is a reflection of India's growing strength in the world of chess."
