The record belongs to Vassili Smyslov who was ranked 9th at age 63 years. Still in todays context when the world championship challenger is only 17 years old, it is indeed amazing. Anand is the only player above 50 years in the top 50 and there are only 4 players above 50 years in the top 100, as of today.

He learned to play chess from his mother when he was six years old. By the time he was 14, he had won the Indian National Sub-Junior Championship with a perfect score of nine wins in nine games. He is an Indian chess grandmaster, a former five-time World Chess Champion and a record two-time Chess World Cup Champion. He became the first grandmaster from India in 1988, and he has the eighth-highest peak FIDE rating of all time.

Why people in the comments are introducing him again and again? Everyone knows him bro. Why you all don't introduce magnus or hikaru everytime?
it's the part where he is able to tell you how you could have beaten him, and you probably didn't see it.
Vishy is *almost* 55 years of age and has a classical rating of 2750+. Unimaginable in modern day chess !!!

He was talking. So he didn't move. He would still move fast and calculate winning moves in the end at the age of ,55. That's vishy for u
Anand is an autodidact. For someone who grew up in a country that had no chess system or academy like the US and Russia in the 70s his story is truly remarkable. Today all chess playing country's have chess academy's including India so todays gen is very lucky. Anand learnt mainly from books as a youngster.

@@vetiarvind Really? How old was he then? What year? Either way at a chess club amateurs and maybe some pros usually play chess. Its not a professional training ground like an academy. Since he was Asia's first World Champion and Indias first chess grandmaster i dont see him learning from any world champions. And access to Tals games means through books not by training. Compare that to Kasparov who lived at a proper chess academy and was trained by former world champion.
Vishy is absolutely one of my favorite chess personalities. Always a gentleman yet with fantastic tactical acumen.
I love Anand, he is so kind (the persona I don't know him)
Imo Anand is on the Mount Rushmore of chess in terms of strength. Really nice of him to do this.

I have the utmost respect for anyone who goes deep into the subject of their choice. Vishwanathan Sir breathes chess and his sheer love and dedication for the game even after so many years of playing it and being one of its greatest players is beyond commendable. Such passion for anything goes beyond any kind of materialism and is nothing less than meditation.
The way Vishy played the first game, he let the attack come in so much, that I would be sweating to see 2 rooks and a queen hovering near my king. We saw right through that attack that he will be able to defend it and come out on top. Really shows, that sometimes reacting passively to an opponent's threat is not a good option but a better might be a counterattack. Really great game.
Oh wow, awesome video format! The time format, the players, the banter, the editing, the audio quality, all outstanding! Made me feel like I was there playing with Nemo 👍
both matches were so close, nemo held her own. GG
Magnus said vishy has an unbelievable natural understanding of the game and it shows . His chess brain works so differently .just casual brilliance
Lovely video. Nice to see the post game analysis by Vishy Sir.
Very nice! I'm glad you discussed the importance of opening prep these days. I think a lot of older master level players are in denial about the importance of opening prep (to some degree) starting at the intermediate level. These days, even at the amateur level is hard to play without opening prep. Amateurs might not understand all the moves they memorized but if they can lead their opponent into some trap or some other memorized line then its enough to win the game against a player of similar strength. I neglected this area of my game for many years and I'm sure it hindered my growth. These days I work on all aspects of the game and my rating is rising fast.
amazing,,,playing while conversing with the 5x world champ is far worth more than the result...keep it up!
Besides this game being interesting, I was amazed by the way it was shot with a cinematic system, it was extraordinary
Wow that second game you played very well! Congrats
You played with the Lagend of Indian Chess... The man who is still the face of chess in India... Many many congratulations Nemo❤

Stop virtue signaling. It is not only completely counter-productive, it is actually insulting to whomever you're virtue signaling for. Besides, Anand knows he's not the youngest anymore. Live long enough and, well, you realize that, well... you age. If you haven't come to accept the fact that people age and do just get older, well, that's a _you_ problem. Stop bothering other people with that _you_ problem and just seek help with solving that _you_ problem. Thanks, have a nice day and, well, enjoy growing older like the rest of us.

What a lovely video😊 Such a nice interaction Great games Guess you wasted too much time trying to milk the d6 weakness
What a humble man
I have no words when it comes to describing Vishy. I wish I could some day meet him in person and touch his feet, for he rekindled Chess in India!
2nd game was amazing 🤩
8:31 The subtle enjoyment in the eyes of the cinematographer!
video quality is top notch.
See how Humble and Polite and a kind Nemo actually is. I just Love it.💖Super down to earth girl💖✨
vishy..the legend.
man nemo had vishy on the ropes in game 2. Problem is if you give a stronger opponent a whiff of counter-play they will win or salvage the draw 9 out of 10 times. But Nemo should take chess a bit more seriously than the other female chess content creators out there. She has good potential to become a GM
Vishy being too humble with his “I should be…”. 7:38
That Rook sac in c2 in the second game was truly a game-changing GM move!
Vishy can be avery good narrator.Such calmness.
