I somehow doubt its the real Anand unless someone else chose his nickname.

I think Anand personally would not have the world champion prefix attached to his name or do something as odd as put in his first name as "World Champion". That sounds a little too arrogant for Anand.

Maybe it's Topa. :lol:

It does seem too arrogant for Anand.

The arrogance of the naming suggests to me this may well be a kid using engine assistance - lets see if the nick disappears soon.

Just looked at the time control of the games. Do not know much about playchess (interestingly, cannot even get on as I do not have a windows machine), but on ICC, there are several players who beat GMs in blitz but are far far from GM strength in OTB play. Blitz games results are dominated by mouse clicking speed a lot of the time.

Hence, it might just be a kid who is possibly not using engines, but is an Anand admirer.
