For four or five centuries the Chess Champion has haled from greater Europe, except for three spurts. Morphy (1858-1862), Capablanca (1921-1927), and Fischer (1972-1975) break the chain. Until Anand, that is. Anand's being Champion 2000-2002 occurred when the title was split. Anand is now successfully defending against Kramnik the title Anand gained at Mexico City September 2007. The victor at Bonn represents classical world champion in continuation. Now Anand's India is where Chess as Chaturanga originated, becoming Shatranj, and thoroughly morphed into this much-regarded Crazy Queen, still 8x8.
