Visuvanátan Ánand indiai sakknagymester, 2000–2002 és 2007–2013 között a sakkozás világbajnoka.Egyike annak a tíz játékosnak a sakktörténelemben, akik áttörték a 2800 pontos határt a FIDE ranglistáján: 2011. novemberben érte el eddigi legmagasabb pontszámát a 2817-et, amely a világ valaha volt hatodik legmagasabb Élő-pontszáma.Először 2007 áprilisában került az első helyre a FIDE Élő-ranglistáján. A 2007 októberi ranglistát 2801 ponttal vezette. A 2007 áprilisa és 2008 júliusa közt készült hat világranglista közül ötön az élen állt.

“A [world title] match has that feeling much more strongly because it's the same guy doing it over and over and over … When you play a single person, it becomes narrower because you are so focused on each other. It is a lot more personal.”

“Age is part of it. For instance, I recognise that [Carlsen] is going to do certain things because he's 22 and there are certain things I can do because I'm 43.”

“I wasn't expecting him to be a gracious, so fair enough. The winner can say anything when he wins… so I guess we will just have to swallow it for now.”

2013 World Chess Championship

“I can relate to many of the emotions they describe…But personally I just like to get on with the job of playing chess. I understand that if I win, I'm probably crushing my opponent's ego but it's not like I do that with great satisfaction. So I don't really look for conflict around the game … It's true that someone like Kasparov has this sense of history, and I'm talking world history rather than chess history. He has a sense of himself being in it, which, for me, is very hard to understand or even relate to in any way.”

“But perhaps they were thrown off by my playing style, which was intuitive-and perhaps a little influenced by Vodka. I ran away with the match early. The result was overwhelmingly in my favour: four wins, five draws and only one loss –an annihilation. The Russians were stunned. I was pretty surprised myself.”

“One of the things I bring to my play is my Indian identity – my ability to shrug off a loss as destiny and hope for better tomorrow. I am often described as a “natural” or “intuitive player.””

“I felt I had I worked hard enough and I felt confident I had done the right kind of work and the right amount of work. But when you talk of preparations, the measure of success is whether it works or not. In that area, I failed completely. I did not stay the course. When you hit the right spot, the sweet spot, it feels great and you feel the preparations have been ideal, but I never got there.”

“You would have to sit at the board and sweat and feel the fear of defeat or the nearness of victory to understand what goes through a player's head … If you think it's that easy, switch off the computer and try and figure out a few moves on your own.”
