Vishy Anand has been one hell of a consistent sportsman for India...He's much bigger than Sachin co. but sadly he never got his due credit as the greatest Indian sports person of his era!!

how do you qualify him as much bigger than Sachin. Has he got 2800 points ELO. Is he the strongest ever chess player. How many times has beaten Kasparov. Why do you bring in needless comparisons. Let us enjoy both of them.

What yaar.Ab isme sachin kaha se aa gaya.Anand is also getting praise for his achievement.And after all even he fails when it comes to big matches.he has hardly won against kasparov.Critics say that sachin doesnt play well against quality oppositions on lively tracks.So even vishy anand is nevr been a world champion.so please dont make nonsense comparisons.

from the article "Indian Grandmaster, Viswanathan Anand who defeated V. Bologan, S. Lputian, B. Macieja, defending champion A. Khalifman, M. Adams, to finally face-off against Lithuanian-born Alexey Shirov in the finals. "
neither kramnik,topalov,kasparov,karpov etc took part in the tournament. It was a weakened tournament
