This brief was taken from chess release in 2012 when Anand was preparing himself and about to challenge Boris Gelfand. The prophecy of Anand retaining the world title and the young Magnus Carlsen would become the challenger to Anand has become an ultimate fact /truthnow ! Viswanathan Anand (FIDE 2000-2002, Undisputed 2007-Present): Viswanathan Anand is the current world chess champion, and it is not clear how long he has held the title! Anand was named chess champion of FIDE (International Chess Federation) in the year 2000 while many would agree Gary Kasparov was the world’s most successful chess player. By the year 2007, however, Anand became the undisputed world champion of chess and has retained his title ever since. Anand is the second highest rated player in the world today, and is one of only six players in history to ever break the 2800 rating barrier, which earns him the unofficial title of Super Grandmaster! Anand is without a doubt the most versatile of all world champions, as he has managed to clinch his title in several different formats. These formats include knockout, tournament, match, rapid, and even blitz! Vishy, as his friends call him, is getting ready to defend his world championship in 2012 against his challenger from Israel, Boris Gelfand. Vishy has defended his championship so far against Vladimir Kramnik of Russia and Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria (Anand-Topalov was decided by the final game of the match!). Many suspect that if Anand retains his title during this match up, his next challenger will be the #1 rated player in the world, Magnus Carlsen of Norway.
