Anand Mahindra compares Erling Haaland's tactical play to Magnus Carlsen's chess mastery
Anand Mahindra likened Norwegian football star Erling Haaland to chess grandmaster Magnus Carlsen, remarking that Haaland’s chess abilities appear nearly as impressive as those of his fellow countryman. Mahindra observed that Haaland often appears harmless on the pitch, tricking defenders into ignoring him before suddenly sprinting into open space to strike with the speed of a cobra. He jokingly suggested that Magnus might even refer to this style of play as the 'Cobra Gambit'.
