Pictorial: Anand-Kasparov showdown

Ashwin Subramanian, Software Engineering Leader at Intel and lifelong chess enthusiast, was inspired to take up competitive chess after watching the 1990 Kasparov–Karpov match, with Anand becoming a huge inspiration from the very beginning! After Kasparov retired in 2005, he never imagined he’d get to watch him and Anand play competitively again… until St. Louis happened! Armed with his camera and decades of admiration, Ashwin captured the Anand–Kasparov showdown from just a few feet away and sent us these magnificent pictorial impressions from the Clutch Chess event.
