MK Stalin – CM, Tamil Nadu:

Heartiest congratulations to our Chess Legend Viswanathan Anand on being elected as the Vice President of International Chess Federation

It’s indeed a proud moment for TN.

Having a man of impeccable integrity and vast experience like GM Anand as the VP bodes well for the future of the game.

I also convey my best wishes to Mr. Arkady Dvorkovich who has been re-elected as the President of International Chess Federation.

His support has been immense in the smooth organising of 44th Chess Olympiad.

I am certain that his second term as President will be as successful as his first term.
