He was a contender.   Now he's just 2nd youngest GM ever.

......  Is Anand (Anandha), the suffix 😶

I think it's one whole long name made up of 2 Sanskrit words.   Pragna (wisdom)  and Aananda (bliss/happiness) .  But I could be wrong. 

Preggo_Basashi

I lost what now?

president_max

Seems to be a popular name.

They stretched the list to 44 just to include Bobby!   Somehow was expecting to find anand there but nope.   Wasn't he the wonder kid who played with bullet speed?

IIRC Anand was 18 before he got his GM title.

This was pretty common way back in the dark ages e.g. the 1980s tongue.png

I hope Anand and Kasparov are ashamed of themselves.  Bobby was in the darkest of ages and I don't even know what that means.

Yeah, when Fischer did it that was really amazing. There were no Russian coaches on skype. He had to teach himself Russian just to read their books, and all the best players and tournaments were on a different continent.

In other words, no collusion.

Fischer tried to collude, but they wouldn't shut up about adoption.

He was definitely innocent. You could tell because he repeatedly lied about it.

president_max

I do not have any relation with that man!

 Also he wasn't Jewish. No way.

Magnus loves juice.  Wonder if this is all connected...

Jewish sounds like juice, heh, clever.

Fischer liked apple juice (and that's not a joke, that was his thing like Carlsen's OJ).
