Visakhapatnam A smiling grace in Anand's life The reticent Vishy Anand and his sprightly wife Aruna are a loving couple. Though having different tastes, they have managed to strike a fine balance. TWICE WORLD chess champion Vishwanathan Anand keeps a low profile when it comes to his personal life, but is quite forthright when talking about his wife Aruna. "She is a smiling grace and a big inspiration in my life. I love her company,'' stated Anand, who was in the city recently. The liking is mutual. Aruna said of her `great friend'. "Anand is an absolutely sincere hubby. He is quiet and an immensely charming person. He makes me laugh when I am down and out. We have a lot of fun together." Aruna, a capable and articulate 28-year-old, handles most of Anand's non-chess matters with comparative ease. Does Anand share his knowledge of the game with his wife? "I talk to her about it, but she doesn't know the game fully well. It's always better that way, because when two people have similar tastes, it could well be a complicated situation at home,'' he remarked with a loaded smile. Though Aruna had failed to master the game despite Anand taking her to most tourneys, she had become an expert cook, the chess ace said. "I don't know whether she had picked a few moves watching me play, but one thing is sure, she had learnt the art of cooking. Be it Mexican, Malaysian or Chinese, she serves it in a jiffy. Aruna has turned me into a real guinea pig," said Anand. Aruna agreed with his observation but pointed out that Anand relishes

Home My account Select a country IBM Research Home ... Feedback Vishwanathan Anand became India's first grandmaster in 1987. He met Garry Kasparov for the world championship in 1995 at the World Trade Center in New York. Kasparov retained the title, but Anand remains one of the world's elite chess players. I eagerly waited to see the Kasparov vs. Deep Blue rematch. Deep Blue was stronger. Deeper, to be precise. From my own experience, practical play exposes all sorts of weaknesses and strengths in my play that are hidden during preparation. Equally, the team behind Deep Blue must have benefited immensely from studying the six games played against Kasparov in 1996. And it would be faster. I can't tell the difference between 100 zillion positions and 497 zillion positions, but if it helped Deep Blue play stronger, so be it. I was looking forward to Deep Blue boldly going where no man had gone before. Kasparov himself must have studied the games played last year. However, humans can't change their style drastically like computers. On top of that, all his games were accessible to the Deep Blue team, while he was in the dark about Deep Blue. He had two options: to play like Kasparov or to play like "Mr. Anti Deep Blue." The former runs the risk of playing to the strengths of the machines, the latter that the human ends up as disoriented as the machine. Humans, too, play weaker in unfamiliar situations and though they may find their way around better, machines can compensate for that with brute force.
