The 48-year-old Indian chess wizard last played in the country at his hometown in 2013 when he lost the World Championship title to Magnus Carlsen of Norway. Anand termed it an emotional moment returning to Kolkata where he lost his final GM norm by a whisker in 1986. He said, ‘It’s a very nice feeling to be back in Kolkata. I’ve got a lot of memories here. I’m really excited.’
