Vishy Anand is the first chess world champion who broke the domination of US and Russia in chess world. We should actually be very very proud of him being an Indian and inspiring so many future chess players from India.
At the age of 50+, he's still in the top ten of the world, no one of his age is even remotely close. Goatest GOAT ever

Its Not sachin must embraced fot his mad fans, We should have embrace vishwanath for his success in intellect and chess. Hes should get Bharath ratna as hes more valuable than sachin. vishuw is one man team and it is his own sport success, Sachin success goes to his team not just him should have selected for that award.
he is 5 time world champion - the best sportsperson from India ever as per the achievements.

Yep , and when you see it now you realize what a humongous task it was, given that now chess is so widespread in India and chess players get so much support and resources in India yet no one has even came close to what this guy is. Still India number one, still rocking. That just says what a god-like talented player he is. Once in a generational talent. The guy was born to play chess. I am just grateful to be born in his era. What he did paved the way for 60 gms India has today. Still we are far away from getting another Vishy Anand. That just shows the legend he is.

Not only for Indians: Anand is a legend for everyone. He's a very nice man and one of the greatest chess players of all time. Magnus is probably the GOAT, but this man has to be in the top 5 of greatest chess players of all time. Immensely strong, immensely durable: just a hell of a player. Magnus respects him a lot, Kasparov respects him a lot, everyone in the chess world does. Anand is just great.
Anand is an amazingly wise and humble person; I envy India for having him as a patron.
Standout video...an example of how a content should be...Bravo Cred 👍
Best quote ever: "Genius Hard, Is Work". Wisdom right there...
One of greatest player ever born in history
Vishi is a milestone!
Perfect timing CRED. Thank you
He's one of the very few chess champions who is very humble in person. That is very very rare in chess world.
I have nothing but respect for this man. Such a heart warming video.
He is such a motivation... always look forward to him for everything new he picks up coz he always does it in the best possible way... 👍👍👍👍👍👍
This was very nice, thank you Anand sir!
This was beautiful. Thank you Vishy!
Classy personality
Woaahh!! Every story narrates such a critical life lesson ... Hats off Vishy!!
The man, the icon,the LEGEND. 5 Time World Champion. Our greatest ever sportsman.
Wow, what a finishing narrative! The last one is a great take away!!
What a beautiful video, Vishy you are an inspiration, thank you!
I love how wise he is. That paired with his intelligence and desire makes him the greatest.
Legend 🇮🇳 vishwanathan Anand (Indian pride)
Almost every indian know his name from books , print news papers. You are our pride sir. Wishing u a good health.
A perfect gentleman , true sportsman and inspiration for the present and future generations
Thank you for this amazing video. I m a fan of Vishy Anand 🙏🏼
Beautiful video, Flowing with wisdom ❤️
What a video! Really inspiring
It's great to see chess player getting recognized ❤️ Vishy Op ❤️🔥
Greatness, Legacy and Heritage - Vishwanathan Anand - '''India's gem''
I wish there was one photo with his wife Aruna as well. Would have loved Anand's insight from their wonderful relationship.
He is my all time favourite. A legend who helped in bringing a revolution in India. Inspired so many people not only chess players but others also to excel, to do something in life.
He is the inspiration for many chess players.His speed movements in his game is really amazing.

Thank you cred to bring this video out. Anand is Goat even in terms of enlightenment
A legend of the game and an absolute gentleman. To think that he has been going strong for such a long time speaks volumes of his dedication to the game. Kudos to you, Vishy Sir. You have made an entire nation fall in love with chess.
He's just awesome, at everything as a Chess player, as a master, as a person.
Lovely & fascinating video!
Such a good concept
He is such a role model. The history of chess has been wild, at least in the more distant past. What honor it is to have such a wise and well-spoken former world champion right in the middle of it. Just don't be fooled, he may be a calm person, but he is still a beast on the board!
A giant of our nation! Can't get enough of him, ever!!! PS: Mind Master is an absolute must read :)
What an illustrious career he had from what is known as the toughest sport of all time. One important thing is that in Chess the requirement for luck is very very minimal in order to shine. It requires hard focused mind with consistency over the years. That’s what makes him legend.
why do i have tears in my eyes
Well perfectly made 👌👌👌👌👌
Even though he is one of the greatest chess players of all time he still remains so down to earth. Such an inspiration !!
Thanks Cred for bringing this Gem♟️
oh my man!absolutely enlightening!so damn relatable..
Thanks CRED... 🙏🙏🙏🙏
At this age also top level master, cannot wait
Vishy deserves Bharatratna. ❤️
I'd love to see a biopic on Vishy Anand or Magnus Carlsen. I think they both have such interesting stories. Lovely segment - Vishy is such a nice guy.
Lots of love to him
I simply love this man
I like how all cred ads have nothing to do of cred

Excellent video.
Why my eyes are teary.....
I mean Vishy Anand is the greatest Indian chess player ever and one of the greatest chess players ever without even a slightest of doubt . But I believe he is one of the greatest sports men India has ever produced, in the league of Major Dhyan Chand, Sachin Tendulkar etc. I have always admired Vishy Anand as a kid and even without having any understanding of chess, I used to read about him in newspapers and would feel so happy when he used to win matches or world championships. However as I grew older and learnt more about chess, more about him I realized what an absolute legend this guy is. I mean this dude became the first grandmaster in a country where chess was thought of as a joke. That was a big feat in itself. But this is just the beginning. Then this guy went on to win the world championship five times literally coming from a country with zero chess background and paving the paths for himself. What he did in chess paved the path for where India is now with 60 gms and all . Now gms are funded in India they are trained properly and all. Still even after all this Vishy anand is still India number one at the age of 50. This shows the absolute legend and god like he is in the field of chess. Even with all the support and training no Indian chess GM has even come close to what Vishy is. Even after so many decades India still is in search of its next Vishy Anand.
Thank you, sir.
Vishy is more than a legend !!
Vishi is amazing person and really big chess player!
Wow Vishhyyy❤️❤️ Inspiration
What a legend🇮🇳
There is a reason for loving companies like cred
I cried while watching this video
Krunl Shah , A gentleman from sole to crown
I used to dislike Anand at the earlier stages of my life but the more i learnt about him the more i started to respect him and even became one of the fondest fan of him. And this video brought me even closer to my chess ideal.
Genius hard is work 🔥
Vishy ❤️

The LEGEND! He Deserves a Bharat Ratna 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
After leaving competitive chess for so many years still Anand is India number 1. He is such an Amzing Chess Personality.
Superb 🙌 Thanks Cred for this🙏

This man right here is the sole reason why chess is so popular now, simply because he was an inspiration for every indian to play chess. His achievements, titles etc are in a league of its own.
