Anand beats 39 chess wizards in ICM

    Anand, who played simultaneous chess against 35 mathematicians and five nominees selected by Infosys at the ongoing International Congress of Mathematicians, remained calm through out his game.

    Anand moved from one opponent to another, making quick moves. The space of his game was so fast that six of his opponents lost the game in less than 20 moves, while 33 of them resigned gradually over a period of three hour and 15 minutes.

    Just one 14-year-old chess wizard named T Srikar could manage a draw against the four-time World Champion.

    Anand also gave away autographs to his fans, during the play.
