If I understand correctly by your definition anand is a weak GM.

I think that by everybody's definition he is a super GM.
He lost against kasparov but won against a lot of GM's to have the right to play
against kasparov.

The fact that he was not world champion could be changed in different
circumstances(if kasparov did not exist).
