The magnificent seven

While the actors in the old English movie ‘The Magnificent Seven’ rode on their horses, to shoot down their rivals, the Indian seven drove their horses, elephants and camels (bishops) to knock out their opponents.

India now has seven Super Grandmasters (GM) -- players having an ELO rating of 2,700 and above. And their tribe is all set to increase with more are knocking at the doors of this elite club.
