hahahaha!
You Americans are so uncivilised :-)  (yes, a joke)
Sachin Tendulkar is a famous cricket (a sort of complicated form of baseball
that lasts for up to 5 days per game) player from India, in fact he is probably
the world's best batsman.  I'd put money on this account being Vishy Anand...

Information about Leon(GM) (Last disconnected Fri Oct 01 1999 19:01):

          rating [need] win  loss  draw total   best
Bughouse    2065  [6]     6     6     0    12
Bullet      2313  [4]     2     2     0     4
Blitz       3129        248    76    55   379   3196 (15-Sep-1999)

 1: Alexei Shirov

his best of 3196 is I think an ICC record, tied with Ferret.
