Who says chess players are always serious? A new ad featuring the youngest world champion in chess history, Gukesh, and five-time world champion Viswanathan Anand portrays the trailblazing chess duo from India in a funny light.

In the ad, Anand tells Gukesh that he needs his help to connect with Gen Z kids and learn the lingo.

“Sir nobody can teach this especially at your age,” says Gukesh in the video before correcting himself quickly “… at your stature, I meant. The thing is you need to know pop culture!”

At this, Anand jumps to his feet and poses like Michael Jackson and says “I know Michael Jackson.”
