MUMBAI: Listeners were biting nails, scratching their heads and lost in deep thought… when Indian grandmaster & current World Chess Champion, â€?Viswanathan Anand’ went live on-air with RJ Anmol on Radio Mirchi 98.3FM, India’s hottest Radio station in the Total Filmy show.
Aimed at making the lazy afternoon more interesting and knowledgeable, Radio Mirchi 98.3FM organized a special t??te-? -t??te session where Viswanathan Anand interacted with the Radio Mirchi listeners. The phones at the Radio Mirchi station didn’t stop ringing from the moment the Chess Champion went on-air. It was a huge audio treat for listeners with Mumbaikars calling from every nook and corner of the metropolis.
Viswanathan Anand had a blast at the Radio Mirchi studio, he played Tic-Tac-Toe with RJ Anmol, shared his favourite first move 1e4… (the pawn in front of the king moves 2 squares), sang his favourite Tamil song for his wife, shared a funny story from a train when a co-passenger mentioned to him that chess was a risky career unless one was Viswanathan Anand! (failing to recognize him), gave tips to all the chess lovers and also expressed his concern over the devastating attack on Mumbai.
