A random chess player conquers the world

To be in the 2700 club or the 2800 club is a highest aim for any player. However, there is a new prestigious club that everyone wants to be part of – the random chess player club.

It all started with Vishy Anand posting a photo with Gukesh after the double gold for India at the Olympiad and saying, “Just running into a random chess player!” And just like that a trend started on social media.
