Quote from wikipedia:

Anand's recent tournament successes include the Corus chess tournament in 2006 (tied with Veselin Topalov), Dortmund in 2004, and Linares in 2007 and 2008. He has won the annual event Monaco Amber Blindfold and Rapid Chess Championships in years 1994, 1997, 2003, 2005 and 2006. He is the only player to have won five titles of the Corus chess tournament. He is also the only player to win the blind and rapid sections of the Amber tournament in the same year (twice: in 1997 and 2005). He is the first player to have achieved victories in each of the three big chess supertournaments: Corus (1989, 1998, 2003, 2004, 2006), Linares (1998, 2007, 2008), Dortmund (1996, 2000, 2004).

So I guess 2008?

He won the Grenke tournament in 2013.

It seems like it's been forever. And now he's at 9th place out of 10 at the Tal memory, as of round 6....

fabelhaft

Grenke 2013 is his only tournament win in a bit over five years, and there he didn't face any opponent ranked in the top ten.

Anand seems to be losing his touch. o_o
