Viswanathan Anand continues to be the flag-bearer of Indian chess. His victory over Vladimir Kramnik in Bonn was a major milestone, not only for the game in particular but also for Indian sports in general. It was an achievement equivalent of Abhinav Bindra’s individual gold at the Beijing Olympics — the two competitions may be different but no less intense.

Great job
