Anand's success in the most cerebral of sports proves that we are equal to the best. Though chess does not excite many & is not a spectactor sport, we still feel a high at Anand's success. Let us enjoy these moments as to get another to replace Anand may take a generation or more! Russia has dominated this sport for so long & they may well be wondering how an Indian can enter the citadles of their hollowed portals with a long tradition!
Chess is an individual sport but Anand's successess give further credence to what we are capable of, if we have a will, muster the resources & aim high!
king of 64 squares, pride of India, V. Anand will emerge gloriously again as world champ undoubtedly. Crucial lead of 2.5 : 1.5 is remarkable. Dr. Sudhir Tungikar
