India chess ace Vishwanathan Anand said his performance in 2016 was steady and will look to build on it in the present year. "This year (2016) my performance in tournaments has been basically very steady. I have recovered almost all the points from the start of the year and I was plus one in St Louis, in Moscow, in London. Ialso won couple of rapid events. I have something to build on because plus one should not be the extent of it, but at-least that is satisfactory compared to last year," he told reporters.
He is the youngest Indian to achieve the feat at 12 years, seven months and 17 days, erasing the mark set by his state-mate R Praggnanandhaa in June last year.
