Anand interview by Latest Chess

From LatestChess.com last May:

Indian Grand Master Viswanathan Anand, by all accounts one of the great gentlemen in the game of chess was honored with the degree of a Doctor of Literature (An honorary degree ) by the Tamil Nadu Physical Education and Sports University at Chennai. Viswanathan Anand who recently won the Linares Chess Championship with the performance of 2825 rating is the only third chess player in the history to achieve the honorary Doctorate degree.

Adolf Anderssen was given an honorary doctorate by Breslau for his accomplishments in chess in 1865. Susan Polgar was awarded an honorary doctorate degree earlier this year by Texas Tech University of Lubbock, Texas.

I do have to add that Anatoly Karpov also received an Honorary Doctorate degree from Bethany College in 2005.

Here is a full interview with Anand from last year.
