A technical glitch did not allow an audio-visual highlighting the growth of Fincare Small Finance Bank, of which chess maestro Viswanathan Anand is the brand ambassador, be played at a promotional event here on Thursday.
Anand, India's first chess grandmaster, sat through those moments patiently, sipping his cup of a hot beverage. Patience has been Anand's middle name in a glittering career that has won him five World Championship titles among scores of others. He regards the world title win against Vladimir Kramnik in 2008 as the "most successful match ever of my life".
