Cricket worlds legend Don Bradman and Hockeys greatest player Dhyan Chand once came face to face at Adelaide in 1935, when the Indian hockey team was in Australia. After watching Dhyan Chand in action, Don Bradman remarked He scores goals like runs in cricket Legend has it that the Fuhrer was so impressed by Dhyan Chands wizardry with the stick that he offered the Indian a chance to move to Germany and the post of Colonel in his army, which the Indian is said to have declined with a smile. After India played its first match in the 1936 Olympics, Dhyan Chands magical stickwork drew crowds from other venues to the hockey field. A German newspaper carried a banner headline: The Olympic complex now has a magic show too. The next day, there were posters all over Berlin: Visit the hockey stadium to watch the Indian magician Dhyan Chand in action. ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************* en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viswanathan_Anand#Notable_tournament_victories Notable tournament victories Rapid/exhibition tournaments[edit] 1994 Melody Amber Tournament, Monaco 1st 1996 Credit Swiss Rapid Chess Grand Prix, Geneva 1st 1996 Torneo Magistral de Ajedrez, Leon 1997 Melody Amber Tournament, Monaco 1st 1997 Chess Classic Rapid Tournament, Frankfurt 1998 Torneo Magitral Communidad De Madrid, Madrid 1st 1998 Siemens Nixdorf Duell (Rapid), Frankfurt 1st 1999 Wydra Memorial Chess (Rapid), Haifa 1st 1999 Torneo Magistral de Ajedrez, Leon beat Karpov 5–1 2000 Wydra International Tournament (Rapid), Haifa 1st 2000 Torneo Magistral de Ajedrez, Leon beat Shirov 1½–½ 2000 Fujitsu Siemens Giants Chess (Rapid), Frankfurt 1st 2000 Corsica Masters (Rapid), Corsica 1st 2002 Eurotel (Combined Rapid plus Classical), Prague 1st 2011 Botvinnik Memorial, Moscow, 1st[59] 2011 Corsica Masters Knockout (Rapid), Corsica 1st[60] Classical tournaments[edit] 1986 Arab-Asian International Chess Championship 1st 1987 Sakthi Finance Grandmasters Chess Tournament 1st 1989 51st Hoogovens Chess Tournament, Wijk aan Zee 1st 1989 2nd Asian Active Chess Championship, Hong Kong 1st 1990 Asian Zonal Championship Gold Medal 1990 Manchester Chess Festival, Manchester 1st 1990 Triveni Super Grandmasters Tournament, Delhi Joint 1st 1991 World Chess Championship, Brussels Quarter Finalist 1992 Reggio Emilia Chess Tournament, Reggio Emilia 1st 1992 Goodrich Open International Tournament, Calcutta 1st 1992 Linares match Anand vs Vassily Ivanchuk 5–3 1992 Alekhine Memorial, Moscow 1993 PCA Interzonal, Groningen 1st 1994 World Championship Candidates Cycle, Linares 1994 PCA Grand Prix, Moscow 1st 1995 PCA Candidates Final, Las Palmas 1996 Dortmunder Schachtage, Dortmund (joint 1st with Kramnik) 1997 Torneo de Ajedrex, Dos Hermanas 1st 1997 Aegon Man vs Computers chess event won 4–2 1997 Invesbanka Chess tournament, Belgrade 1st 1997 Credit Suisse Classic Tournament, Biel 1st 1997 Knock-Out Championship, Groningen 1998 FIDE World Chess Championship Finalist 1998 60th Hoogovens Schaak Tornoi, Wijk aan Zee 1st 1998 Torneo International De Ajedrez, Linares 1st 1998 Fontys-Tilburg International Chess Tournament 1st 2003 65th Corus Chess Tournament, Wijk aan Zee 1st 2004 66th Corus Chess Tournament, Wijk aan Zee 1st 2006 68th Corus Chess Tournament, Wijk aan Zee 1st 2007 Linares Chess Tournament, Linares 1st 2007 FIDE World Championship Tournament, Mexico City 1st 2008 Linares Chess Tournament, Linares 1st 2013 Grenke Chess Classics, Baden Baden 1st
