Chess Maestro Viswanathan Anand was spotted in a hilarious advertisement, the video of which has gone viral on social media. Even though Anand shared the video on his social media handle, there is still no official confirmation on whether the first Indian Grandmaster has been roped in by Subway, in whose promotional video he features, as their brand ambassador. The video shows even the five-time world champion having a tough time while ordering a sub.

Have a look at the video and some of the reactions on it here:

Recently, Anand and young Grandmaster D Gukesh slid on the first day of the 2023 SuperUnited Rapid's Blitz segment which is a part of the Grand Chess Tour.  Anand, who is a five-time world champion had a tough time, winning only two games out of nine including one against Gukesh. After nine rounds of Blitz, he took his tally to 13 points with another nine to follow. On the other hand, Gukesh started with a win against Richard Rapport of Romania before sustaining four back-to-back defeats. But then he made a comeback with a win over Constantin Lupulescu (Romania) and Jan-Krzysztof Duda (Poland). Though he finished on a bad note after losing to Ivan Saric (Croatia) and Ian Nepomniachtchi. Following that, both Anand and Gukesh are tied at sixth place with 13 points.

World No. 1 Carlsen capped off an incredible blitz performance to win the top prize a score of 26 points out of a possible 36, taking home a first-place prize of USD 40,000. Finishing in second place was Nepomniachtchi (22.5), with Caruana (21.5) taking third place and Firouzja (21) fourth.

Carlsen who won all his nine games on Saturday in Blitz, saw the streak snapped in the first round of the day, as he failed to convert a slightly better endgame against Caruana. The Norwegian then drew with Duda before uncorking four straight wins against Gukesh, Saric, Anand, and Nepomniachtchi to clinch tournament victory. The tournament saw 9 rounds of rapid and 18 rounds of Blitz being played.
