I know the kind of reactions my comments in the title might draw but I hold my ground and please, hold your fire till you finish off the last letter of my post. Anand represents a sport which has affiliations to its world body of more than a hundred odd countries just to give you an idea of the level of competition that our chess maestro has been contending with. He appeared in the scene when India did not have a single Grand Master and became the first one to inspire quite a few to achieve it during his reign. He was World Champion five times - quite mind-boggling. His manners remain immaculate though chess masters are known to be eccentric geniuses. If he loses a few times more that's never ever going to dent his place in the pantheon of sporting gods of our country. You may disagree but I hold my ground!!! :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:
Chess in game of mind and stemina. In my opinion every game required hard labour and dedication. Like Schine who is best one cricketers of world Anand is also best one chess player. he is great.
Chess is not a popular game like cricket is in India so few people know about his achievements in chess. This is truth he is one of the best players of all time India has produced. :blink:
Chess is not popular because it is mind game and played in close rooms. India know this game because of Anand.
Chess is very popular game in India, in fact, India introduced it to the world and we are one of the leading countries in this game on all levels. Only 3-4 countries are in front of us including Russia, America . Yes. it's a mind game and Indians have enough mind but for the day to day problems, otherwise we would be on the top.
Now, the popularity for chess is on the increase. Many school children are showing promise and many sponsors are also coming forward to groom the promising youngsters. Courtesy, Anand who set a trend in India.

True but players born in 80s are doing well and have equally good chances to come forward and give a good fight to world players.
