Anand, V. – Nakamura, Hi

2776 2018 · Draw

Viswanathan Anand, world champion from 2007 to 2013 and the first Indian player to reach the summit, earned the nickname "the Tiger of Madras" for his blistering calculation speed. Opposite him is Hikaru Nakamura, five-time US champion, one of the fastest players alive and later a huge name in online chess. Nakamura unleashes the Sicilian Dragon — a bold invitation to a slugfest against an attacker of Anand’s calibre.
