You are the greatest sportsperson India has ever produced along with the legendary hockey player Dhyanchand. Chess is a global sport unlike cricket and you have shown the world that India is a nation with immense talent.
Vishwanathan Anand really a genius. Kind of play he has shown so far underlines his supremancy &intelegence. I hope he will continue this form & win this tournament.

Here are some statistics: Anand's performance was 2816, while Topalov ended at a dismal 2691. This means that Anand will be number one on FIDE's April 1st list, something he has been looking forward to and been close to achieving for more than a decade. (chessbase.com). Congrats Anand.

I believe he is the greatest sportsperson India has produced. He is not only World Class, he is at the Top for decades.This does not mean that I am not fond of people like P T Usha,Leander Paes and Prakash Padukone.If we could have a little less cricket fanaticism, we would have appreciated them more!
This is a pity part that despite the fact that Anand being a "champion of Champions" there is hardly any coverage in the News Papers or in the News.... Media is puppet of business peoples...

The very fact that Anand keeps away from media generated empty hype attests to his intelligence, a prerequisite for a chess champion. Our nincompoop media hacks will run any story if they think that at the end of it there is a free drink and dinner, including portraying Sehwag and Yuvraj and intelligent thinkers!
We are proud of you,,, Wish govt take some positive steps towards other games also ( apart from cricket ) We would have had few more anands, ushas'...anjus' ... rathods....god bless our india....
