Artificial intelligence is powering chess and India is taking note

Imagine you are playing a chess game online and you've just made your move. Then you are told how Magnus Carlsen would probably respond. You now have to think and make your counter move. This is what IT services and consulting company Tech Mahindra, the digital partner of the 44th FIDE Chess Olympiad in Chennai, is working on--to create an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered "immersive" digital platform for fans, chess lovers, and aficionados. Through this, fans could feel they are part of the game played by the world's top chess players and try to match their move.
