Voted Anand for Chess Oscar 2006

I just voted Anand at http://oscar.fide.com/about.asp for Chess Oscar 2006. The interface is non-intuitive and I am surprised with their look and feel choice. Here is whom I voted:

1st: Anand
2nd: Kramnik
3rd: Topalov
4th: Radjabov

Anand is the highest rated chess player now

Anand deserved it a long time back. But better late than never. Vishy Anand is the highest rated chess player in the world from this April 2007 rating list. He was consistently in the top 3 rated chess player for more than a decade-and-half. Congratualtions to Anand! I hope he will continue to reign for a long time.
