Tuhia he haere tonu mō tēnei whārangi - He toa tāke a Anand e rima ngā wā. I hinga ia i a Alexei Shirov i roto i te tukinga e ono-takaro ki te wikitoria i te 2000 FIDE World Chess Championship, he taitara i mau ia tae noa ki te 2002. I riro ia hei toa o te ao kore i te 2007, a ka tiakina tana taitara ki a Vladimir Kramnik i te 2008, Veselin Topalov i te 2010, me Boris Gelfand i te 2012
He aha? I te tau 2013, i ngaro ia i te taitara ki te kaiwhakataetae a Magnus Carlsen, ana ka ngaro ia i te tukinga ano ki a Carlsen i te tau 2014 whai muri i tana wikitoria i te 2014 Candidates Tournament.
