Viswanathan Anand. Brand Ambassador for Instaforex 2019-2022

A legend! Or perhaps that sounds too grand? But how else can you describe a person who, at the age of 18, became the first Asian to win the World Junior Chess Championship, and at 19, made history as the first grandmaster in his country? This marks the beginning of Viswanathan Anand’s championship journey—a man whose name is now forever engraved in the annals of world chess.

At 22, he triumphed in his first super tournament, defeating Garry Kasparov in a head-to-head match. In 2000, Anand won the FIDE World Chess Championship. In 2007, he fulfilled the dream of every chess player by claiming the title of the undisputed World Chess Champion.

For six years, Viswanathan Anand dominated the chess world, defeating legendary grandmasters such as Vladimir Kramnik, Veselin Topalov, and Boris Gelfand. In 2017, at the age of 48, Anand clinched the World Rapid Chess Championship, further cementing his legacy as one of the greatest chess players of all time.

Viswanathan Anand’s illustrious career boasts hundreds of victories in the world’s most prestigious tournaments, six Chess Oscars, and numerous high awards from his native India. That is why we take immense pride in recalling the period from 2019 to 2022 when Viswanathan Anand was a brand ambassador for InstaForex, bringing his unparalleled greatness and expertise to our team.
