'I did it!' Anand sends first message to wife

Press Trust Of India

Bonn: "I just did it", was the cryptic reaction from world chess champion Vishwanathan Anand soon after retaining the title in Bonn.

"He simply said I just did it", Anand's wife Aruna quoted her husband as saying soon after drawing his last game with Russian Vladimir Kramnik and winning the title.

Asked how they planned to celebration the achievement, Aruna said they’ll have a “nice dinner" together.

“We will be in India possibly in another two to three weeks,” she said.

Aruna said Anand had been tense for the last few days.

Asked what is Anand's target after having won in all the formats of the game, Aruna said "it's up to him but henceforth no finger will be pointed at him".
