Sandipan Chanda has traded his aggressive, uncompromising style to a tempered down approach for success on the international circuit 

Overseas exposure and enhanced ratings ensured Sandipan Chanda enjoyed top billing at the IIFL Second Mumbai International chess tournament, which kicked off at the Mount Litera School at Bandra Kurla Complex on Monday. It is not very often that an Indian starts as the top seed in a competition where 17 chess-playing countries and an equal number of Grandmasters are in the fray.
