@vishy64theking in my head, it was just a fun game we amateurs were playing against the greatest chess champ from India to raise funds for charity. But still gives no excuse for what I did. It was wrong and I sincerely apologize.

It is ridiculous that so many are thinking that I really beat Vishy sir in a chess game, that is almost like me waking up and winning a 100mt race with Usain Bolt. 😬 pic.twitter.com/UoazhNiAZV

It takes years to build reputation and seconds to get it destroyed.

What Nikhil Kamat did destroyed his. (Even though it was a friendly match for fund raising - but cheating is a cheating) https://t.co/qSgRvBGlBN
