By winning his fourth World Chess Championship title, Vishwanathan Anand feels he has proved his critics wrong, who had earlier accused him of lacking the killer instinct. “People accused me of lack of nerves or killer instinct. My nerves worked better. I defended the third title in a row and that is very special,” he said. Anand retained his World Chess Championship title after beating Bulgarian Veselin Topalov in a nerve-wrecking 13th and final game on May 11 in Sofia, Bulgaria. “It was the toughest that I played. Every game was intense and hard fought. We almost never finished a game under four hours. It was exceptionally tense and nerve wracking,” he added.
