@@akashkale6910 You are technically right. To associate Chess in India with any one modern person is surely blasphemous. On the international stage, I would still consider Anand to be the Father of Indian Chess.
He is the first gm from India so he is the legend of india without him there would be no indians on this great level many indians inspired by him he is even in indian school text books the 5 time world champion 🌏🏆
I don’t understand why he hasn’t received the Bharat Ratna yet for everything he has done for the nation, he deserves it as much as or more than any other candidates for the award.
Vishy & Kramnik are two legends of the game. Both of them grab the attention wherever they go, but for different reasons and in different ways!! Be like Vishy!!😊

@@StalkingPeopleHmm we r not talking about this gen. he made chess popular when no internet was there. he was part o books news everything. without any controversies but only plain chess. his inspiration for chess in India only is 2nd to none. and the content creators who are making chess popular themselves got inspired by him to play chess and become FM IM GM and started streaming.
Australian here. Although Magnus, Garry, and Bobby are/were probably better players, I think Vishy is arguably the GOAT of chess. He's a 5x World Champ, has been at the very top for decades, and is a most humble champion. But mostly, because of his incredibly vast (and positive) influence on the game - particularly in India, but genuinely around the world.
Well said. He just climbed a spot higher yesterday and is now World.No.10. in Classical with rating 2751 as of 22nd Sept 2024. And all this at age 54 years is like insane.
Watching Vishy roam around looking at games of Indian players gives me surreal feeling like a farmer looking at his crops with a sense of satisfaction. ❤
@@Nice_person_ I'm curious, why'd you find this weird? Vishy has trained them since they were 6 or 7 years old! These kids visit his home! He always has treated them as his own.

Gukesh / Arjun and many will cross the Anand peak rating and become World champions .. . However this man is the only reason for chess in India and is the founding father of chess. The name Anand will be in the history of chess for India even after 300 years . As Magnus once said Anand was the first person who came from now where and went to fight and win world championship has a unbelievable understanding of the game ❤️
Because he was an amazing natural talent. In terms of pure talent, he ranks easily in top 3, imo. The rare quality of intuition comes with such natural talents.
Thats right there is the goat for india ❤ what a huge personality he is nobody would habe contributed that much which he has done for indian chess huge respect!!!
Vishy sir is an inspiration to millions and billions out there.. he's my goat my hero.. Carlsen Kasparov had a huge support system so it was obvious for them to be top players and not trying to downbad or saying anything bad about them they are legends .. but vishy sir he was there all alone from the starting.. he worked hard on his own .. for me hes the goat in true sense i know some will come try defame him nd say bad things but okay
@@antonsokolov1771 He meant Vishy himself found no support or had no compatriot to look up to,in his own journey as a Chess player and is hence the GOAT. That's nothing but pure praise for Professory Vishy ❤
The way Arjun,Gukesh, Pragg & others have performed is beyond any expectations. Their hardwork & dedication is outstanding apart from their talent ofcourse. Vishy is a legend & he managed to create a legacy of legendary players !!!
As a black south african who was raised in durban and there in durban we live with many indians. as a brown chess player myself am very proud of indian success in chess. Somehow its also my success.
without any doubt - he is the chess influencer - perfectly for that title...Hope india gives him Bharat Ratna award..he deserves everything., He not only taught and inspited chess, he also spread the culture of being modest and humble./ without any doubt he also taugh how to be humble and level headed irrespective of your status or where you stand...he is a respectable 'Chess Being'
We're simply getting back to the place where we should be in chess, gladly you we're the inspiration that India needed after 1000 years of no self rule.
He created an entire army of players, how many sports in India make investments in kids from the age of 14? Only cricket. Building ecosystems is the key.
India desperately needs something like this for football for giving ourselves a chance to shine at the world stage. An academy, helmed by the top Indian talents like Sunil Chettri and Baichung Bhutia etc.
Why...he'll do well for the US...I'm happy for him. The US needs to have imported team members in future too...just like Hikaru, Levon, Fabi, Linier and Wesley😂
He has done so much valuable work for community, for many generations. But looks simple man. Many people worry about success makes people arrogant but he is cool even after success and contributing in chess growth in world.
Congratulations to all the members of Fide chess Olympiad gold winning Indian team. Both men and women team have displayed exceptional skills and are brand ambassadors of our great Nation. Jai hind 🇮🇳
Vishwanathan Anand has done so much for Indian chess. He has literally created a new generation of players. Why hasn't he been given a Bharat Ratna yet? while Sachin was given a Bharat Ratna 13 years ago and he didn't even coach the team for even 1 year. Vishwanathan developedhis talent without much chess infrastructure and chess legacy in India while Sachin had so much cricket infrastructure and cricket legacy.
Vishy Sir's academy is in South. Vidit is from Maharashtra. He has interacted less with Vidit and may not have even mentored him. Even if he had, it should be for even less time than the other four. Hence, it is not weird that Vidit is missing from the list.
Vishy and Dravid the similarity is unmistakable! Vishy achieved more in chess than Sachin in cricket I dare say. Even though I am crazy about Sachin! Vishy deserves a Bharat Ratna
Father of Indian Chess might sound like hyperbole but in the case of Vishy it is one hundred percent true.
It’s not father of Indian chess, she said ‘Father of Indian chess boom’ and that exactly what he is.

The Mikhail Botvinnik of India; what Anand has done/achieve for chess in India is phenomenal, he deserves a golden statue in central Deli.

Imagine if he had the support these kids get!
I also wonder that once. He was a lone wolf and managed to get at the top.
@@Eternal-Snooze-Loop "If we consider the lone wolf category, no one comes closer to Fisher and Vishy."

@@whyitmatters3076completely different, USA still had the resources and GMs even before Fischet
Vishy's father was posted in Manila and the Phillipines chess culture and clubs helped him. His mother being a pillar of support helped him
Vishy has done more for chess than any other player. Hands down. He deserves a huge share of the credit for India's dominance.
Thats right there is the goat for india ❤ what a huge personality he is nobody would habe contributed that much which he has done for indian chess huge respect!!!
Man is Happy.
The Indian players got great coaches, RB Ramesh, Vishnu Prasanna, Srinath Narayanan, also the family supports, not to forget them.
Congratulation to India for the amazing result and team spirit

Historically, chess originated in India. But modern-day chess in India can be credited to this one legend Vishwanathan Anad, without any doubt!
India is dominate the olympian chess Tournament,before the Tournament began,i told that India is the future winner of Olympia 2024
Thank, for your love 😘 to indian players.🎉

Not to forget Sagar and Samay popularizing the sport. Literally it has grown organically without system support.
Sagar only, Samay is just a entertainer.....
I mean Samay did something during covid but Sagar worked really hard. I would say Sagar and Amrutha more than Samay tbh
And Vidit as well..My guy showed normal audience how friendly and yet amazing a GM can be
I literally started watch and playing chess because of samay streaming@@harshitagrawal8859

One person who deserves Bharat Ratna - Vishy Anand 💐 More than academy and training that humbleness in all young players comes from him
Elation on the face of Vishy is loud and clear and why not it should be? It is visionary work that bore the fruit today.
I hope he never stops what he is doing, which is creating more young talents & if someone grow up to be a Pragg or Guki it’s a bonus!
Very rightly called the father; in this case the father of victory, all while being a superb sportsman and gentleman.
thank u vishy
Hipe Nihal bounces back soon ❤
He created an entire army of players, how many sports in India make investments in kids from the age of 14? Only cricket. Building ecosystems is the key.
