Zerodha's Nikhil Kamath deceives Viswanathan Anand to win chess game

Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath defeated world champion and grandmaster Viswanathan Anand in a charity chess game using help from in-game analysts and computers, a fact he disclosed only after Chess.com banned him for cheating and winning.

Anand was playing virtual chess games versus celebrities such as actor Aamir Khan, cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and Zerodha's Kamath, among others to raise funds to combat the Covid-19 pandemic.

While he beat other players easily, Anand surprisingly lost to Kamath- whose moves had an astonishing accuracy rate of 99%. Kamath was soon after banned by Chess.com for cheating.

Reacting to the incident, chess legend's wife Aruna Ananad said, "Well, Nikhil contacted Anand today and explained this tweet. Anand replied to say that he can't deny the algorithm and personally wouldn't comment on the issue."
