Tania Sachdev is one of the most striking personalities of the international chess scene. She is an International Master and a Women Grandmaster, likes to travel and has often played in India's national women's team. She enjoys playing in tournaments and as a commentator she is in great demand - for example, she worked as co-commentator during the World Championship match between Viswanathan Anand and Magnus Carlsen 2013 in Chennai. And at the Tradewise Gibraltar Chess Festival 2016 she had a daily video show in which she showed the sights of Gibraltar and interviewed players and organizers.

She also is always ready to give an interview. In the following cllip you see her having a "quick chat" with Daniel King during the Chess Olympiad in Tromso 2014:

 

Red Bull India hired her for a PR-campaign which involved a country-wide chess competition. The winners of this competition were invited to play a game against Tania Sachdev.

Tania's cousin also designed a chess dress for the team of Königshofen, which plays in Germany's Women's Bundesliga.

Her second DVD, "Improve your Tactics", offers an interactive course to practice and improve your tactical skills.
