Sir..Please may I ask you do you know anything about chess?? On what basis do you claim that Anand won't go down as one of the greatest? You don't decide the greatness of someone by comparing him with someone else. If you say Kasparov is the greatest, there are people who would claim Fisher is greater, and some would say Capablanca is the greatest. Kasparov, the greatest, lost to Kramnik in a match without winning a single game. That doesn't mean Kasparov is not one of the greatest or Kramnik is greater. Please leave your idiotic ideas behind and understand the game. This man, has never lost this tournament since its inception and I think he won it seven times. And for the first time he is losing it and you guys start talking about Anand aging. Let me reiterate, if at all there is sportsperson who can be called the greatest produced by India, its Viswanathan ANAND. And in chess parlaans, he certainly would go down as one of the greatest. 5 chess oscars, twice winning the championship, 10 years of top three position, one of the 4 humans who have broken the 2800 barrier, all this inspite of being trained in a nation who didnt know how to spell chess. Lets remember, Kasparov said "If Anand was born in Russia and received a russian training, he would have become the greatest.". When Kasparov retired,he told Anand "Now you can take over". So I would plead all chess illiterate people to just shut up and accept that they dont understand the game.
