Another victory that spells national pride. After a gap of nearly seven years Viswanathan Anand is the world chess champion once again.
Vishwananthan Anand drew his last game against Peter Leko before he was crowned World Champion. His performance at the tournament was calculated and consistent not losing a single game and finishing at the top nine points
This win not only reinstates Anand's dominance in the sport ” Anand said.
There is little doubt that Anand's achievement will be an inspiration for many in the country.

Afro has a roving eye. Oily wants to be a student leader. And we want to know why Tiwari with all his creative and other natural resources (authentic locales in-sync music and credible players) couldn't come up with a film that compares favourably with other films about coming of age….and rage.
Tigmanshu Dhulia's power-driven film Haasil on campus politics and even Goldie Behl's Bas Itna Sa Khwab Hai the grasp proves a little to cumbersome for the first-time director.
Manish Tiwari's portrayal of love and politics on the campus ends up being more wheezy than wondrous where's the main event?
