Anand has been one of the world’s top players for more than two decades, and cemented his place in the alltime hall of fame by winning the unified World Championship in 2007, and successfully defending his title
against Kramnik and Topalov. But it’s not just his results that make Anand special. His style of play leads to
highly spectacular games, and his speed of thought is the stuff of legends. He is also a great explainer of ideas,
as his annotations for this book demonstrate. Anand is renowned as ‘Mr Nice Guy’, popular with both the public
and his fellow supergrandmasters.
