Hearty Congratulations!! You have made our Country and all of us proud by winning the World Chess Championship. By being the only one to win in all the three formats you have proved that you are the Absolute Chess Champion. Wishing you many more such splendid achievements in your glorious Chess career. From Joseph D'souza & family and the Chess fraternity of Pune, Central Maharashtra & Maharashtra 04^th November, 2008

It was a glorious week for Indian chess last week. Indian icon Viswanathan Anand won the world chess championship in a great show of strength and preparation at Bonn. Anand had Kramnik guessing right through, and in tricky situations in the second half of the match, Anand held on, defending his lead. World Champion under knock out system in Tehran 2000, under round robin format in Mexico City 2007 and under match play in Bonn 2008 makes our Anand the only player in the history of the game to win the world title under three different formats. This title victory over Kramnik, portrays Anand as the most comprehensive chess player in the planet. And added Congrats to his team of four GMs and his wife who worked tirelessly towards Anand's peak of excellence. VIVA ANAND.

Adding to the celebration of Anand's triumph, is the Indian sweep at World Youth Chess Championship 2008 at Vietnam. Four golds viz, Adhiban Baskar, Sayantan Das, Vidit Santosh Gujrati, Padmini Rout along with a handful of silver and bronze medals complete a great chess bonanza for India. My hearty congrats to All India Chess Federation for their unstinted efforts in bringing greater glory to the country. yours truly, R R Vasudevan, Arbiter, Chennai 04^th November, 2008.
