[@acharyaashis342]

Half a century back, in early seventies I remember reading an article in a Bengali magazine written by a sports journalist (forgot the name). In that article he wondered whether India will ever be able to produce a GM. There was clear skepticism, and frustration in his writing. We have come a long way since then! We have 85 GMs!. And, both our men's and women's team are Olympic Champion! Feels so good!

Hikaru, I am impressed with your knowledge of Indian chess history. You are right, India had no chess culture to speak of till 1970s. Manual Aaron who became an international master in 1961 was the only International master in India till 1978. Vishwanathan Anand, son of a Railway Engineer, showed flair for chess and spent his formative years in Philippines, then a chess powerhouse of Asia and home to Eugine Torre the only grand master from Asia. Anand became Indian national champion at the age of 15 and kept setting new marks every passing day. The fact that the first GM of India also became world Champion and inspired generations of Indians into chess is something that could not have been imagined even by the most optimistic Indian chess fan. As an Indian chess fan, I have seen India becoming from a one IM nation to a double goldmedal winner in chess Olympiad. An Indian is also likely to be crowned world champion. All that is such a nice feeling for someone like me who has seen it all for the last 50 years.

Viswanathan Anand is the reason why I played chess as a board game in my childhood with my family and I was good at it. I've won like multiple school competitions even without learning a thing about chess during that time. Now that after 2020 and so much exposure of chess. I learned so much theory by just watching videos and understood the complexity of chess. But yeah just like I was playing this game for fun & games, like many other Indian were and this is all cause of Viswanathan Anand and he get all the credit for making chess so popular that now we have the best players from India and more to come in next few years.

[@amitm1993]

I have huge respect for Hikaru for speaking great words about Vishy Anand. I would also say there is no other great player like Anand in chess history. He lost his World Championship at the age of 43 against Magnus. People say Magnus is the greatest player but they forget that Anand was beating the young Magnus comprehensively even after crossing age 40. People don't realise physically every man starts declining after 35. Also, Magnus is trained by Kasparov, he had developed his game with the best technologies, materials, got best training. But in contrast, Anand had nothing. In his young days he was competing against the bests like Kasparov and Karpov without much resource and support. The russian chess players had better resources on chess which was mostly kept as a secret. Only when chess engines developed chess strategies and secrets became public. Anand is the lion of World chess. Being from a non computer era, Anand has beaten the computer era Magnus Carlsen multiple times and more interestingly while he was nearly 40 years old. So, in my opinion Anand is among the Top 3 GOAT
