The GM Viswanathan Anand is the new world Chess Champion 2007. Now according to the contract he signed with FIDE in the beginning of next year he will have to defend his title playing against the last champion Vladimir Kramnik.

Viswanathan Anand - "You can imagine how I feel. I won a big tournament last year and this is something very special for me. I want to thank all my friends that helped me a lot. I want to thank my wife that has done everything to keep me in a good shape for competing. I also want to thank my trainer. And most of all I want to thank Mexico for its hospitality, not in so many places you can find as many chess fans as here. I always feel great in Mexico. At this moment, I can recall Mr. Saggiante's words that this would be an unforgettable championship."
