It\u2019s strange that World Champion Viswanathan Anand has won all the elite championships abroad. Tehran, Mexico, Bonn, Sofia and now Moscow. Viswanathan Anand\u2019s World chess titles have all come abroad and it is strange that an Indian city does not figure among them, writes The Times Of India. <\/p>\n

<\/strong>\u201cThe Indian mind champion has played all over the world and won all the elite tournaments in the game, but he has not played in India in the last eight years. India made a strong bid for this year\u2019s World Championship and lost it to Russia. The World body (FIDE) then consoled the All India Chess Federation by offering it the next championship, possibly in 2014, which now becomes significant as Anand has defended his title and finally he could get to play a title match at home,\u201d writes TOI. <\/p>\n

Though the general perception is that playing at home would be advantageous, Anand would think twice before buying that idea. He knows the intricacies of playing at home too and is on the defensive when he talks of the advantages and disadvantages. \u201cPlaying in India can be a big challenge,\u201d admitted the World Champion. \u201cWhen the Chennai bid came up, I was thinking about the implications. When you are playing in front of your supporters and family, the demands are also greater. But you need to find a balance, to shut yourself away from the rest of the world and get into such a frame of mind,\u201d explained Anand, who had played the major portion of his 2000 championship in New Delhi before moving to Tehran for the final. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile Indian Express <\/strong>reports that Anand has been the undisputed world champion for the past five years but Indian chess veteran has no plans of calling it quits just yet as he says his morale is on a high after beating a \u201ccomplicated\u201d Boris Gelfand to notch up his fifth world title.
\u201cThere are definitely no thoughts of retirement. In fact, quite the opposite. (Winning a fifth world title) has been a huge boost to my morale. As long as I enjoy, I don\u2019t see any reason to retire,\u201d Anand told reporters during a felicitation function here on Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWinning in Moscow meant a lot emotionally. It\u2019s not only about records. It\u2019s just that you hate losing and you love winning. I am looking forward to playing chess and winning tournaments,\u201d Anand said. \u201cFor me, the number has been irrelevant. Every title defence is special. I simply want to enjoy playing chess. There is no checklist,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, according to a Hindustan Times <\/strong>report basking in the glory of his fifth world championship title, Viswanathan Anand has ruled out even contemplating retirement any time soon, even if that comes as a disappointment to his illustrious Russian rival Garry Kasparov.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe retired in 2005 but he was trying to make me retire all through 2011. Maybe he should consult me before he does that because I am going to disappoint him (laughs). It seems to me that he is a man who regrets leaving chess, who misses the attention. Maybe he should play again (smiles). In general, I try not to react to criticism. I try to stay in a bubble but if you are a public figure, you will have to develop a thick skin,\u201d Anand said at a felicitation ceremony on Saturday organised by his sponsor. \u201cFor me, now the challenge is to prepare for the defence of the title, whenever it happens.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
