it is no small matter to be the chess world champ. you are one of a kind in the whole wide world when you are the chess champ. and you are doing it all largely all by yourself. and yet vishwananth anand gets no big parade in nai dillie. but sunita does.

dear sowhat
u r wrong in saying that anand does not get attention bcoz he is from tn. why r u so regionalistic? in india only cricketers get all the attention. it is all bcoz of media hype and big business. other players, whether they r from tn or any other part of the country, do not get attention, bcoz we indians r crazy for cricket. there r many good non cricket players all over the country and not only in tn and they do not get any encouragement from the govt. though cricket is played only in some countries, which were earlier were ruled by the britishers, it is not popular all over the world. it is most popular only in india, pakistan, b'desh, sri lanka & west indies. even in uk, australia and new zealand it is not very popular.
