How Boris Gelfand reached final

[kid-glove]

Sachin fans really are a gift that keeps on giving when they call Anand, Federer, Messi, or what have you as SRT of their respective field.

[Saai]

Anand



Kid,

Just a related note: Indian Govt has always put Vishwanathan Anand FIRST when it comes to recognition. First Sportsman to get the highest Indian award for a sportsman - Rajni Gandhi Kel ratna. Padma Sri at 18 . Probably he is popular than Sachin globally.

[kid-glove]

Yeah, SRT is a local fellow.
