Grandmaster Viswanathan Anand: Indian chess grandmaster Viswanathan Anand is a well-known name amongst chess lovers and players across the world. He has done the country proud on the international stage many times.

Now he is showing the world a different side of his personality. The five-time World Chess Champion has proved to the world that behind his visible “solemn” persona there is a man who is brimming with wit, humor, and puns.

On Monday, while moderating a Twitter session called “Ask Vishy,” Anand took amusing questions and replied with very intelligent and witty answers.

This one stands out in particular.

A Twitter user @PadhleJay asked him, “Sir, my friend always takes away my queen, what to do? #AskVishy.” To which Anand replied, “In chess or in life?”
