Viswanathan Anand Celebrates 40th Birthday – World chess champion turns 40 on 11th December

Forty may be just a number to Anand but Garry Kasparov mentioned that that is the age when chess champions (he meant World champions) should retire from the game. Anand laughed off the suggestion saying Kasparov had set other goals for himself (political career) and that should serve him well.
