True winner! He can crush Kramnik with his killer instincts in the next encounter... Congrats Anand! and keep it up.

Congratulations to Anand on a well deserved victory and many thanks to Chessvibes for excellent coverage!

Congrats Anand, a very well deserved victory indeed!!!! Good luck for all your future ventures.

Very good coverage - I am impressed by the professionalism displayed and all interviews.
*Excellent* job.
Thank You ChessVibes.com.

a deserved champion. compared to him (and with the exception of Gelfand) the others played an average tournament. Let's just hope that Kramnik will have more 'cojones' in the upcoming revenge match.
Congratulations to Vishy.

Nice win by Vishy. He had many near misses:
- Kasparov-Anand 1995
- Karpov-Anand 1998
- Anand-Shirov 2001 (Ok, he became F.I.D.E. world champ, but Kramnik's title was more pretigious)
- San Luis 2005 (second place with Svidler)
And many many candidates matches and knock out misses. After all the suffering a well deserved victory. Although he won this tournament in the sole lead and has more ?ɬ©l?ɬ¥ points than Kramnik, i think the Anand-Kramnik match will be an upset for those who are rooting for Anand ;)
My girlfriend said, that Anand maybe deserved the victory, she was rooting for L?ɬ©k?ɬ?, like me :)
