Let us face it that sachin's book launch is generating more hype than anand's upcoming world championship match. That shows where chess stsnds in India vis a vis cricket
The biggest problem that we encounter in our country is that we have problems in every sphere of life.The another truth is that regardless of these problems that they face question in mind when cricket game is on, What is the score?Congress has so many problems thanks to corruption,misgovernance,leadership crisis that it used the most discussed person from this game to once again sweep the dirt under the carpet.The maedia & BCCI along with Star sports who have business interest in promoting their new channels were unfortunately party in sordid drama played around a great player but poor judge of timing & mind games

Do it fast ;otherwise these lousy parties will eat all peoples earning by the name of STATE-SPONSORED-ELECTION-FUNDING ;
Leander Paes is the guy who always selflessly plays for the country. He was the first individual medalist in Olympics after a 50 year waiting period in 1996. He deserves more than anybody else

I beg to differ, Best would be Major Dhyanchand, who inspite of having an offer to be the chief of German Army decided to remain in India. That's true patriotism. Next would be V.Anand, as he basically tore through Soviet dominance in chess. Then is Leander Paes!
viswanathan anand is Chennai king,while anand is also indian king. sachin is Mumbai king, sahin is also indian king. anand is chess king. sachin is cricket king. anand is fighting with carlsen in world championship in Chennai. sachin will retire after playing his home series with windies side good game of indians

Thats not true my friend.. Its not a bias with south indian, its the bias with any games in general except cricket. If you look at any cricket player, they have earned much more name,fame and money than any other sports entity regardless of where they come from. They call cricket is another religion in india.
I am from north and a chess lover and personally appreciate the effort and dedication of Anand.
