Síntesis biográfica
Viswanathan Anand nació en Madrás, India el 11 de diciembre de 1969, es
un Gran Maestro de ajedrez y el actual Campeón Mundial reconocido por la FIDE,
tras derrotar en mayo de 2010 a Veselin Topalov en un match a 12 partidas con un
marcador final de 6,5-5,5.
En la lista de la FIDE de noviembre de 2010 Anand ocupa el primer lugar del

mundo con una puntuación Elo de 2804.
En 2000 Anand se proclamó campeón del mundo de ajedrez de la FIDE tras

vencer en la final a Alexéi Shírov. Perdería el título en 2002, tras caer en
semifinales frente a Vasili Ivanchuk, que a su vez perdería la final frente a Ruslan
Ponomariov.
Al ganar el Campeonato Mundial de Ajedrez 2007 se convirtió en el campeón

mundial indiscutido de la especialidad, título que revalidaría en octubre del 2008 al
vencer al ruso Vladimir Kramnik en un encuentro a doce partidas en el que se
impuso por un marcador de 6,5 a 4,5.
Anand es el único campeón del mundo que ha conseguido el título compitiendo

bajo 3 modalidades distintas (en el 2000 por el sistema knock-out, en el 2007 por
sistema de liga a doble vuelta, y en el 2008 y 2010 por match directo).
Los inicios y el match contra Kasparov

Aprendió a jugar a los seis años y desde joven mostró un gran talento para el
juego. En 1984 se convirtió en el primer jugador de la India en obtener el título
de Maestro Internacional. El año siguiente se proclamó campeón nacional, título
que obtendría en dos ocasiones más. En 1987 ganó el campeonato del mundo
juvenil, y ese mismo año obtuvo el título de Gran Maestro (de nuevo el primer
jugador nacido en la India en lograrlo). Desde sus inicios, Anand sorprendió al
mundo del ajedrez por la rapidez de su juego, no exenta de profundidad.
El éxito internacional no tardaría en llegar. En 1991 logró su primer triunfo

importante al ganar el torneo Reggio Emilia por delante
de Kasparov y Karpov entre otros.
En 1995 "Vishy", como se le conoce familiarmente en el mundo ajedrecístico, se

enfrentó a Garry Kasparov por la corona mundial versión PCA, tras derrotar en los
encuentros de candidatos a Michael Adams y Gata Kamsky. El encuentro tuvo
lugar en el World Trade Center de Nueva York. Tras una serie inicial de 8 tablas,
Anand se anotó la victoria en la novena partida, pero luego perdió 4 de las 5
siguientes. Al final Kasparov retuvo el título tras vencer por 10,5 a 7,5.
Campeón mundial
En el 2000, en un torneo celebrado en Teherán, Anand derrotó en la final a Alexéi
Shírov por 3,5 a 0,5, proclamándose así campeón del mundo versión FIDE.
En el 2003 la FIDE organizó el campeonato mundial de partidas rápidas. Anand

salió vencedor de este evento, por delante de los otros 12 mejores jugadores del
mundo, con la única ausencia de Garry Kasparov.
A partir del 29 de septiembre del 2007, Anand se convierte en el decimoquinto

Campeón de la FIDE al imponerse en el Campeonato Mundial de Ajedrez que se
llevó a cabo en la Ciudad de México, con un punto de ventaja sobre Vladimir
Kramnik y Borís Gélfand. El 11 de mayo del 2010 revalida el título, al vencer
en Sofía a Veselin Topalov.
Carrera
Viswanathan Anand vs. Magnus Carlsen durante la 10ª ronda del XXIV Torneo
Intercontinental de Ajedrez Linares - Morelia 2007 el 4 de marzo de 2007.
Anand lleva más de una década entre los cinco primeros jugadores del mundo (la
mayor parte de ese tiempo entre los tres primeros) y ha conquistado numerosos
torneos y premios internacionales. Entre ellos, el prestigioso Óscar del Ajedrez que
ha ganado en 6 ocasiones (1997, 1998, 2003, 2004, 2007 y 2008). Entre sus
victorias se cuentan las de Corus 2003, 2004 y Dortmund 2004. En el 2005 terminó
en segundo lugar en el campeonato mundial de la FIDE celebrado en San Luis
(Argentina) detrás de Veselin Topalov. Hasta el 2008 ha ganado el Torneo
Internacional de Ajedrez Ciudad de Villarrobledo en cuatro ocasiones, siendo el
ajedrecista que más veces lo ha conseguido.
Es un ajedrecista muy completo, que no tiene un estilo fijo, y que posee un

repertorio muy rico y flexible. Tiene fama de ser un extraordinario jugador de
partidas rápidas y, ciertamente, en varias partidas de torneo se le ha visto
consumiendo mucho menos tiempo del que, como término medio, gastan sus
rivales.
Anand es toda una celebridad en la India, donde ha sido elegido deportista del año
en múltiples ocasiones. Actualmente vive en la pequeña localidad española
de Collado Mediano, cerca de Madrid.
Resultados de 2007 y campeón mundial

En el Torneo Corus de ajedrez, del 2007, en los Países Bajos, quedó clasificado
5º, logrando 7,5 puntos de 13 posibles, con 4 victorias, 7 tablas y 2 derrotas.

Ese mismo mes, Anand fue 2º, tras el campeón Kramnik, en el prestigioso Torneo
Melody Amber de ajedrez, en Mónaco, con 13.5 puntos. Consiguiendo 8.5 de 11
puntos en las partidas rápidas, demostrando así su gran talento y velocidad de
juego a este ritmo.
En septiembre del 2007, se corona campeón mundial de ajedrez al ganar

CAMPEONES MUNDIALES DE AJEDREZ
Viswanathan Anand, el Titán Indio
Es momento de hablar de la biografía de Viswanathan Anand, el primer y único

campeón del mundo ajedrecístico que ha logrado conseguir el título bajo 3
modalidades distintas.
Gracias a ello, ha sido elegido como el mejor deportista del año en diferentes
ocasiones. Conozcamos más a fondo la vida de este gran ajedrecista quien a
pesar de tener 50 años, sigue compitiendo en la élite del ajedrez mundial.
Nacimiento
Un joven Viswanathan Anand jugando una
partida contra su madre
Nacido en la India, específicamente en Madrás un 11 de diciembre de 1969.

Viswanathan Anand se interesó por el ajedrez desde muy pequeño, con tan solo
6 años de edad su madre le había enseñado a jugar y rápidamente quedó
atrapado en el juego.
Desde niño siempre fue un niño con un gran intelecto y muy buena memoria,
disfrutaba de leer cualquier libro o revista de ajedrez que consiguiera. A partir
de ese momento comenzó a jugar partidas rápidas adaptando así grandes
reflejos. Gracias a esto le colocaron el ápodo de “Chico Relámpago”, pues
jugaba muy rápido y se mantenía muy pacífico.
Con el tiempo cuando creció un poco más, tuvo su primera computadora en la

cual jugaba todo el tiempo y mejoraba sus técnicas. Su partida más corta fue de
6 jugadas perdiendo únicamente un caballo. Sus éxitos llegaron casi de
inmediato gracias a su destreza y rapidez, con solo 15 años Anand logró ser un
Maestro Internacional, con 17 Campeón del mundo juvenil y con 18 ya fue todo
un Gran Maestro.
Carrera como ajedrecista
Para el año 1991 tuvo su primer

triunfo importante dentro del torneo Reggio Emilia quedando su puntuación
por encima de la de Karpov, Kaspárov y otros ajedrecistas reconocidos.
Su carrera en el mundo del ajedrez creció casi inmediatamente gracias a que sus
destrezas eran realmente fenomenales. Para el año 2000 se volvió campeón del
mundo en la FIDE luego de haber vencido a Alexéi Shírov.
Para el 2002 perdió el título tras enfrentarse a Vasili Ivanchuck, pero luego, en el
año 2007 volvió a ser nombrado campeón mundial revalidando su título en
el match Viswanathan Anand vs Vladimir Kramnik.
Estilo de juego
Su forma de juego es bastante complicada,

rápido y no considera que tenga un estilo definido. Gracias a su destreza sus
partidas son bastante veloces consumiendo menos tiempo que el promedio de
los ajedrecistas, llegándose a ganar el apodo de “El Chico relámpago”.
Podría decirse que, su técnica del juego al ser tan rápida, lo tiene como ventaja
tras no darle oportunidad de pensar a tiempo a sus rivales por lo que,
probablemente sea esto lo que lo vuelva un jugador único sin tener una
modalidad definida.
Curiosidades de Anand
No todo en la vida de Viswanathan

Anand jugador de la FIDE ha sido el ajedrez, también estudió Comercio siendo
el mejor y graduándose con honores en tan solo un año de carrera.
A pesar de ser un jugador excelente, no todo fue así. Estando dentro de la élite
ajedrecística, utilizaba su gran velocidad durante las partidas, algo que le hizo
llegar a cometer errores muy importantes. Durante sus partidas, mezclaba las
técnicas del ajedrez agresivo y rápido con
las técnicas más tranquilas y estratégicas.
Viswanathan Anand vs Magnus Carlsen
Su personalidad siempre fue

amable, era un joven simpático
que hacia amistades rápidamente y
cualquiera podía entablar una
conversación con el cuándo no
jugaba. Nunca presentó rivalidades
personales con los demás jugadores.
Por otro lado, ha sido campeón mundial en diferentes ocasiones, desde el 2000,
2007, 2008, 2010 y 2012. En la India se volvió toda una celebridad, un ídolo de
masas que, ha sido elegido como deportista del año en diferentes ocasiones.
Dejando en alto su país.
Anand perdió el título mundial de ajedrez en el duelo del 2013, Viswanathan

Anand vs Magnus Carlsen. Desde ese entonces, ha procurado recuperarlo pero
sus intentos no han tenido éxito.
Sin embargo, aún se mantiene entre los 15 mejores jugadores del mundo,
siendo el elo y rating oficial de Viswanathan Anand de 2753.
Existen diversas teorías acera de su nombre. Muchas personas le llaman Anand

y otros creen que es un error y pudiera resultar ofensivo. Hay diversas teorías;
Dicen que en la India normalmente siempre se escribe en apellido y luego el
nombre, ya que, los nombres al ser comunes la gente se confunde.
Viswanathan Anand libro
El escritor David Norwood, escribió un libro titulado “Vishy Anand”, donde

Anand es considerado como el supertalento en el mundo del ajedrez. Allí se
cuentan diversas anécdotas que ocurrieron en la India, cosas que normalmente
a cualquiera le podrían parecer increíbles. Entre cada una de sus costumbres,
está la de conducir sin prestar atención a las señales de tránsito.
En el libro se narra acerca de una ocasión en la cual Anand quería ir a un

restaurante famoso de la India con sus compañeros para degustar los mejores
platos y este estaba cerrado. Las diferentes teorías afirman que, el dueño del
restaurante al darse cuenta de que Anand era quién estaba allí, abrió
inmediatamente el lugar.
Pero por otro lado, un chico que pasaba en una moto al percatarse de la
presencia del joven Indio, quiso pedirle un autógrafo y sin percatarse se había
tropezado con un tráfico teniendo así un accidente terrible.
Viswanathan Anand IQ
Ha habido muchos rumores y opiniones acerca del IQ de Viswanathan Anand.

Algunos afirman que tiene 97 de coeficiente intelectual, mientras que otros
aseguran que el ajedrecista indio alcanza los 190, después de todo, siempre
serán opiniones. Lo que de sí estamos de acuerdo, es que Anand es de los
mejores ajedrecistas de la época, habiendo sido campeón mundial durante 6
años, un logro que para alcanzarlo se requiere de una buena capacidad
intelectual.
Vida personal
Viswanathan Anand tiene una esposa, Aruna

Anand con la que está felizmente casado desde 1996 hasta la fecha y con quién
cumple el papel de ser todo un esposo encantador. Su esposa Aruna siempre le
acompaña durante sus torneos brindándole todo el apoyo del mundo.
Su vida personal también ha sido un poco afectada por el ajedrez, pues en

distintas entrevistas Anand ha afirmado que ve la vida como si estuviese en un
tablero. Considera el ajedrez como más que un deporte, un verdadero arte y, al
mismo tiempo una ciencia.
Aún con sus 50 años, Viswanathan va al gimnasio regularmente, pues el

también acepta que el ajedrez deja un gran desgastamiento físico y mental.
Ajedrez para principiantes

Anand, al igual que muchos otros jugadores
profesionales y legendarios. Le ha dejado a muchos de sus seguidores esa gran
motivación en el mundo del ajedrez. Por ello, hemos dejado ciertas
observaciones dedicada a todos los principiantes en este deporte.
 Los jugadores principiantes se consideran personas que, saben jugar

perfectamente, siguen las reglas de forma correcta y aún están en modo de
preparación para subir su nivel.
 Una de las fallas principales de los principiantes es que presentan ciertas
dificultades para crear nuevas estrategias. Muchos cometen la equivocación de
que el único objetivo es el de ganar dejando de lado las estrategias que podrían
diseñar su propio estilo en el futuro.
 El tiempo para dejar de ser principiante dependerá mucho de tres factores; el
talento, tiempo invertido, y la calidad de entrenamiento que se esté recibiendo.
Para el caso de los admiradores de Anand. Una buena técnica puede ser la
rapidez, practicar el juego desde una computadora. Pero, tomando en cuenta
siempre que esto es un arma de doble filo. Al principio de la carrera de
Viswanathan era algo realmente sorprendente, pero al mismo tiempo, le
causaba problemas a la hora de pensar en otras estrategias.

studied these days that I thought it a b c d e f g h
better to go for the alternative 10.Qd2.

13.h4 I was going to play 13.Bd3 when I 5 5
saw this move. It is desirable for Black
to castle kingside and it is logical to 4 4
weaken his kingside while he is still 3 3
unprepared for it. 13...Dd7!
Gelfand played this after long thought 2 2
and it's a fine move. My next move 1 1
seemed obvious to me during the game -
a b c d e f g h
Nb4 is met by Nd4, but soon I was to
realize that matters are not so simple. My origina l intention had been 18.
14.0-0-0 Qb6. White can bring his queen back
[ 14.Ae2! Gelfand and I briefly looked to b3 and while Black is better, White
at this - White develops whilst not is still fighting. At the post mortem,
committing his king just yet. ] we felt that the position was better for
14...Cb4! Black albeit extremely murky.
[ 14...Tc8 15.Cd5! Ca5 This seemed However, this amazing move, we
attractive to Boris, but then he saw didn't see at all! Maybe it's just
that White can simply sacrifice his difficult to ignore a rook and stop one
queen 16.Cxa5! Gelfand Txc2+ square before it! I found it at home by
turning on Fritz to see if it could turn a b c d e f g h

up anything interesting. Nope! Fritz
was fixated on taking the rook and 8 8
playing Bc4+. To prod it to see Qb6, I 7 7

forced it to display 2 moves and it
found Qg7 instantly. Of course, the 6 6
reason it's a great move is that the 5 5
queen still covers c3 and therefore
Black can't play Na3. Fritz probably 4 4
liked it just to play Qh8 on the next 3 3
move (a missed opportunity!).
Nonetheless, I now think that our 2 2
initial assessment that Black was 1 1
better was inaccurate and that White
