Viswanathan Anand – The Untold!

The World Chess Championship is going to begin in Chennai (Olden Day Madras) in a couple of days! The World Chess Champion from India, Viswanathan Anand, will take on the pretender to the throne World Number 1 Magnus Carlsen of Norway in a Classical World Championship Match!

It is speculated that World Number 1 Magnus Carlsen has an edge over Anand as punters say he has 'a huge advantage due to his lower age - more than half of years ‘lived less’ on the surface of mother Earth than Anand has done 'successfully'! - & motivational level! These punters 'deliberately' forget the quality of wine is its age & for experience there are no real substitutes.

Vishy has been on the top of the chess world for more than 2 decades & he has been the undisputed world champion since 2007, making his challengers Kramnik, Topalov & Gelfand history! This great feat he has achieved against all the odds speaks volumes about the 'Legend Quality' that he has got.

He fought against a biased world of chess players & chess lovers from a very young age & he has always been harassed by the step motherly attitude of the world chess bodies that are realistically dominated by the western-spirited personalities, for ages! Despite all these not so enviable things & situations, where mortals have never thread, he walked with the utmost patience & dignity & achieved what a true Indian could ONLY have achieved - The Title Of The World Champion - as if he, an Indian, is entitled to have the world champion title of a game that is born in this great nation of thought & ideas!

Seeing an Indian as World Chess Champion for ages has never been something palatable for a lot of people who used to see & eulogise whatever that is western. When the 'Lightning Kid' metamorphosised himself to the junior world chess champion & became the first GM of India in 1988 he was still considered as an upstart who would fade in time as many had experienced!

In the 90s he became a major force to reckon with & there were no parallels in chess history in the matter of Speed! Most of the times he had been ‘deliberately’ presented (By the ‘who is who’ of the chess world!) in the world media as an underdog and was projected as something of a 'Lucky Time Chess Master'! The international chess media made him look like a 'Lightning Kid' trying to walk along the chess colossus of the pro western chess world! But time proved that the 'Kid' out classed the colossus & remained the Champion of the World for a very long long time, that the new generations saw Viswanathan Anand as the pole star in the ever changing firmament!

The western world which always wanted a world champion from the west tried their best to push the pole star out of the firmament by all the means at their disposal; but the star remained there showing direction to the wanderers of the unchartered chess world! Tens of thousands of people in the 1+billion society of India took chess into their heart with love as they were never failingly guided by the pole star of chess, Viswanathan Anand of India who was successfully 'SHORTENED' by the not too friendly western media & the who is who of the chess world as 'Vishy' Anand! Still, his unique powers never got 'Shortened' despite all the efforts of the persons who wanted to remove the star from the firmament, the pole star shone on the horizon!

The 'Supposed To Be' all time great Garry Kasparov treated Anand as badly as he can and FIDE, the main accomplice to demote Anand in stature, also did the same by making a Totally Tired Anand play against a much rested & FIDE Fav Guy Anatoly Karpov in a world championship match in which due to wholesome exhaustion Anand lost. Again, Kramnik & Topalov, both of them became World Champion's challengers, spoke about Anand in not so complimentary words that is due to a world champion of his stature.

The Gentleman Polestar of the Chess Firmament never got disturbed by this much below the par standard of behaviour of his opponents & contemporaries! Even when he became the ONLY world champion who has won the title in all the formats of the game play he was hailed 'INCOMPARABLE' ONLY by a very small number of international media! Always he was treated BAD! Before he became the world chess champion for the first time in 2000 & ruled over the undisputed chess world since 2007, he was meted out with the same sort of apathy, all over the world, mostly!

Now, when he is the ONE & ONLY Anand in the Chess World, of whom one can always be Happy about (Anand = Happiness in India!), the who is who of the chess world & the west slanted chess media say Anand has to beat Carlsen to be counted in the all time greats; what an absurd request?! The dumb as a door nail pro western chess media foolishly ignore that there is LITERALLY NOTHING Anand has to prove & he is NEVER going to prove –To satisfy an insatiable pro western chess media - what he has become long ago i.e One of the all time chess greats as whatever he has achieved, which is unparalleled in chess history, has been achieved against all odds, i.e. against a West centred chess fraternity, West centred world chess governing body FIDE, West centred chess contemporaries & all those who always wanted to see a man from the West on the World Chess Throne!

Kasparov, Karpov, Kramnik, Topalov & FIDE itself played all the tricks @ their disposal to prevent HIM from GREATNESS which he duly deserved; but, they never succeeded in their plans! FIDE, the chess body, made Anand play against Topalov ONLY a couple of days after his 40 hours bus journey due to a volcano eruption in Europe which made the life in Europe come into a grinding halt, thinking that he would be dethroned by the Karpov-Like Rested Topalov who played the championship in his backyard Sofia. In the Anand-Gelfand match, FIDE, despite giving assurances that Chennai would host the world championship, all of a sudden, from nowhere, CONDUCTED A BID & AN ARTFULLY 'LEAKED' Indian Bid saw Anand play in Russia! Again, trampling the ballooned expectations of the pro west chess world & FIDE, Anand emerged victorious with flying colours and for once & all established himself as the Living Legend of the Chess World, never ever bothering whether the pro west  people, contemporaries & media describe & engrave him as one of the all time greats, in their pro western chess annals!

The west dominated world media is still far away from accepting & declaring Anand as one of the greatest chess players ever born shows how arrogant, sub standard & low it has become that it REGULARLY points out new criterion, one after another, for Anand to meet – The sensible knows very well that they will continue doing what they have been doing UNASHAMEDLY all these years to infinity! – that they accept him as one of the all time greats! What these much less than sublime pseudo western media seldom understands or are ready to understand is its only idiots ask Quality & Greatness to prove they are Quality & Greatness!

Even Indian media neglected Anand where as they fell head over heals for the cricketing heroes of the country never remembering that cricket is a game which is barely played in less than a score of countries, in the world, where as chess is played @ the competitive level in every country present in the world! There was even a university in Hyderabad which asked him to prove that he is an Indian that the sub standard university could confer its sub standard doctorate or some piece of sh*t on him! Nobody, till now, has taken the courage to scream, standing on the roof tops, that “Enough IS Enough & Just Shut Up & Watch Anand Play The Game As A Legend Plays, in his inimitable style!”

Anand, such a great gentle man chess player that he is, has never been concerned by the knaves, senile & dwarfs of the chess world who were just there to harass Quality & Greatness 24/7 & he plays on, unperturbed & wholesomely focussed, as the Great & Legendary World Champion that he is.........!
