Ignoring the snark, here is the truth. Anand is great, however he is overshadowed by Kasparov. Think about it without Kasparov, Karpov is world champion about 8 years longer AND Anand is champion about 8 years longer. The the question would be who was greater Karpov or Anand, but as it is I believe most would say Kasparov was better than both.
Now as a person, Anand is the embodiment of what a champion should be, humble, gracious, honest and loyal. That fact that he is an inspiration to all of India is probably worth more to Anand than any additional chess laurels.
Here is the truth , you have never studied chess seriously. Ask one who did and he will tell you how great Anand is.
Ignorants all they know , is Kasparov, Fischer and Carlsen , nothing else. For the rest, players like Anand were as great as Kasparov. because they have studied his games, something ignorants never did. Ignorants all they know is some fancy Kasparov sacrifices. But chess is much more than that. Appreciating players like Anand , Karpov and Petrosian has to do with understanding chess in a deeper level. They are not players for online patzers.
Not sure what Ive done to you, but your like some crazed cyber-stalker. What are you my ex-wife? Gretchen is that you?
As far as I can see your the King of Patzers, the absolute worse kind, the kind that doesnt realize he is one. I especially LOVE the way you inflate your rating by only playing players well below your rating, that will get you respect and kudos!
So next time you decide to continuously be rude for no apparent reason, remember an old man bent you over his knee and virtually spanked that heinie...

I wasn't rude at all. Not calling you an idiot was actually extremely polite! I am rarely that nice!
You are talking for things you don't understand. All your knowledge about Anand is what wikipedia says.
Yes I am the King of patzers but I can at least appreciate players like Anand. That makes you a joker and quite a failed one.
Don't flatter yourself, I can't be your ex wife. I'm sure she can't stand you and she wants to stay away from you as every other woman that met you. Good luck finding the next future ex! Until then maybe try to study a little , who knows you might learn something. I believe in God and miracles do happen!
tsk tsk...another child with anger issues, let me guess, "if only everyone else would recognize your greatness" or "how dare someone have an opinion different from my own"
Here, have a glass of warm milk and take a nap...
On second thought Ill take the high road, I honestly would feel like crap if I upset someone. So your right, I dont and never will appreciate chess to your level. If you would, kindly quit jumping on every post I do and posting aggressive comments directed at me, in other words do your own thing mate!
