Author Information

Viswanathan (Vishy) Anand comes from Madras in southern India. Having shot to fame as a child, playing master-standard chess at lightning speed, he became a grandmaster in 1987 by winning the World Junior Championship. By the start of 1992, at the age of 22, he had established himself among the world's elite by winning the Reggio Emilia tournament ahead of Kasparov and Karpov, defeating both in their individual games. In 1995 he challenged Garry Kasparov for the world championship in New York, and although Kasparov won in the end, it was a tough fight, with Anand leading after nine games. He had some excellent results in the late 1990s, with 1998 an especially good year, as he won the majority of the elite tournaments. In 2000 he scored his greatest successes to date, winning both the FIDE World Cup and the FIDE World Championship.
