If Sachin deserved Bharat Ratna for his contributions in cricket, i dont know why Vishy doesnt deserve it for what he has done in the world of chess..

[@ajaxjaiswal3442]

He will get it eventually, he's one of the most deserving personality in terms of making a generational change i would say greater than Sachin could ever do because there were great many stalwarts before him but Anand stood alone and walked as a torch bearer for chess in India. What a great champion!!!

Vish might get it eventually but Sachin obv got it cuz cricket is a lot more popular, its indias national sport

Shoutout to Mrs Anand who has stood solid behind Vishy through all these years

[@devchess]

Yeah of course world championship is so easy to win , even pragg doesn't need his mother in tournaments according to you.

@@DA_Funk69 your sentence doesn't even make sense, and wth are you even saying, i m indian.

[@epictetus__]

Yeah more than being the champion himself a bigger achievement is having a wife like her

It's very normal in india. Wives standing with husband's and supporting.

You had me in tears, Tania. I'm EXACTLY a year older than Anand, a chess lover, and I've followed him in every step of his achievements. This tour of his home was just fabulous.

[@JasonMomos]

Aruna knows her stuff and I am not even surprised. A couple emanating good vibes is always pleasant to be around.

[@thatguyfrommilkyway3103]

Tania asking Aruna about her favourite dish is so wholesome of Tania.Usually noone asks housewives what they like or want. @2:40

It is very nice to see . Amazing cabinet. Please continue this series and the next should be like Kramnik, Leko or Topalov then we can sort of move to other players.

[@korethoe262]

In the 80's and 90's chess was just whatever. Kids who followed their passion and didn't care what others thought are now living in the Age of Chess. I'm so glad Anand is still prospering from his epic work decades ago.

I absolutely love the temple to chess that is Mr. Anand's home. All custom cabinetry to showcase his precious chess boards, trophies and more.. what a life he has had. I would LOVE to see an entire series of the top chess players cribs !!

Their simplicity and humility is really admirable !! Especially Aruna ma'am, from welcoming to conversations and that cleaning of trophies part 😂❤ May god bless both 🌺 May all achievers in the world be as humble as you both.

When I was ten I saw Anand play Kasparov on top of the WTC - how much has changed in the 20+ years since, I am very moved to see his peaceful home and beautiful wife. Peace from the USA

[@gravelroadsindia]

Wow, this video's timeline is so short, it barely does justice to the incredible achievements of Anand. I'd love to see a more in-depth exploration of the achievements. There's so much more to unpack here!

[@anilanand6734]

I am also one of Vishy's admirers. Some 12 years ago he didn't give autograph only to me on my chess board even though requesting multiple times not sure why, while he did give to others. I am still keeping that board safely and will ask him for autograph on the same board again if I get the chance in future..

[@KironKabir]

One of the best to ever do it. Thank you GM Anand

Incredible display of an incredible career! I believe Magnus said all his trophies are at his parents house. To be fair, he bought a house a few years ago for his parents to live in. Maybe so someone will clean his trophies :p

[@Parasuraman-ey4wo]

Aruna Anand is sweet, down-to-earth but capable. Anand, even as a child was very (intelligent, charismatic, mature) with amazing general knowledge and excellent English. He was so Don Bosco-ish. He got a 200/200 in 12th Maths hardly having time to attend school. Was very good academically. Most important of all, I remember him as being very nice, and yes, humble. He was universally liked by all players from diverse backgrounds in Tamil Nadu. Great social skills even at that age. So great emotional intelligence too.
