About

Chess wizard Tania Sachdev started playing chess as a hobby when she was five and went to become one of the few female players in India to earn the prestigious title of  ‘Woman Grandmaster’ and ‘International Master’.She is also a Chess Presenter and Commentator and Content Creator.

Starting her career with the national team in 2008, the 31-year-old woman grandmaster believes that Indian chess has come a long way since she began.

She took up commentary because she likes challenges and thinks it's challenging because commentators have to simplify the game for the viewers. Many people follow the game, but sometimes it is hard for a person to understand the moves of a world champion.
