In 1984, Anand went on to become the youngest Indian to win the International Master Title. He became the National Champion at the age of sixteen.

His winning spree continued when in 1987, he became the first Indian to win the World Junior Chess Championship and the next year, he became India’s first Grandmaster. He qualified for the Professional Chess Association World Chess Championship final by beating the likes of Michael Adams and Gata Kamsky. At the age of 22, he won the Reggio Emilia, finished ahead of greats like Garry Kasparov and Anatoly Karpov. In 1995, he lost to Garry Kasparov in New York City’s World Trade Center. He achieved victories at Dortmund in 2004, the Corus chess tournament in 2006 and Linares in 2007. This Chess whizkid won the Chess Oscar in 1997, 1998, 2003 and 2004.
