Anand has recently been rated as No. 1 in FIDE rating. This is significant as he is the 5th person in the world to get this honor (Fisher, Karpov, Kasparov, Topolov are other four) since 1968, since FIDE ratings started). Anand has been the top 3 FIDE rated player for the last 15 years. Such consistency has not been given by any other sports-person in the world !
While the media is flooded with headline/frontpage news on Indian cricket's worst performance in cricket, chappel / players/ BCCI, we have completely ignored the significant achievement of our greatest sports pride "Anand". Should we not forget cricket (national disgrace) for the time being and rejoice in Anand's success ! Cheers !
