Reviving Chess Through Technological Innovation

The Origins of Chess and Tech Mahindra’s Role

A social media post from 2020 has sparked a chess renaissance, with Anand Mahindra’s response propelling the game into a new era. Once known as Chaturanga in ancient times, chess has roots dating back to the 7th century. Celebrating the 100th anniversary of the International Chess Federation, Tech Mahindra is spearheading the Global Chess League (GCL) to bring the game to a wider audience.
