pls dont compare anand with tendulkar. anand is miles ahead in achievement...5 times world champion in a game played all over the world.
main credit goes to anand's mother . i believe she was an amateur chess player and instilled the love of chess in anand. later it is anand's hardwork and dedication towards the game.

Very true. She was responsible for seeding the interest, after which there were coaches in Chennai to further his cause. Post his emergence, there has been increased interest in chess in India, however nobody has been able to match Anand. Maybe someone like Humpy down the line...
