As an Indian, I can verify that Anand's contribution and impact on Indian Chess is unprecedented. His own city of Chennai now has >30 GMs (mostly kids and youth). A whole generation grew up watching him. He is also a very polite and kindhearted man, contrary to the champions that came before him.

The editor is smart, in order to woo the Indian audience, he puts anand on the thumbnail... Fair play XD

Sees Anand
India: So, I am very interested.

When you say "Chess" in India, everyone thinks of Vishwanath Anand to this very day. His legacy is surmounted in all our memories.

@GMPranav 3 years ago

I don't know what is more impressive. The sheer amount on Indian GMs inspired by Anand or the fact that Anand is still higher rated than all of them 😂

XQC is a theorist. The Wooden shield didn't create itself!

The immense respect Hikaru has for Anand is heartwarming ❤️

@senoreverything6366 8 months ago

It's so funny how Hikaru insulted Levy too much about not recognizing Alekhine and then Levy barely talked the rest of the stream 😂

At 48:12 Levy says, "In terms of his chess; it speaks for itself." Perhaps unwittingly inspiring Niemann's statement two years later. :D

The percentage of work being done in Norway goes down by 85% every time Magnus plays a championship match lol. Couldn't even buy a candybar if you wanted to

One thing I can say for Anand (I'm from India) is that he broke into the ranks when the erstwhile Russia/USSR was still THE dominant force in Chess. When I read about how Russian players had a thriving ecosystem that helped them learn, compete and rise up the ranks, Anand's access to tournaments, sponsorships, and strong players (to learn from) was in a much-diminished quality and quantity. (It brings a smile whenever I think that he had to frequent the Tal Chess Club in the Russian embassy in Chennai to improve his game). This to me justifies his ranking 100%.

I'm Indian now migrated abroad, I did not understand the totality of how much Anand contributed to Chess on and off the board. This is just incredible, thank you Hikaru. I love your streams and congrats on being World Champ!!

Norwegian here. I fully agree with Anand being a God of chess. I am proud of Carlsen, of course, but Anand deserves to be remembered as one of the greatest in chesshistory.
