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.
