Explanation:

Pravin Thipsay

Awarded the grandmaster norm just this week by the World Chess Federation, Thipsay is busy savoring his singular success. Kasparov... yes, he wants to play him. But the big move, he says with touching pride, would be playing Viswanathan Anand.

A chess fanatic since the age of 12, Thipsay was introduced to the game by his father and honed his skills against his siblings and numerous relatives. Looks like they made great coaches.
