9/9/2009 – It was a memorable experience for all involved, and an auspicious one too:
Durban Chess Club was celebrating its 116th birthday! World
Chess Champion Viswanathan Anand visited the Kwazulu Natal Province of South
Africa on a good-will tour, arranged by his sponsor
NIIT.
Speeches, dinners, lectures, simul – the World Champion was in his element.
