Anand has won the [[Mainz Chess Classic]], a [[Category 21 Championship]], a record 11 times. In 2008, he defeated Carlsen en route to his 11th title in that event.<ref>''Chessvine'' article, [http://chessvine.com/archives/60-Vishy-Anand-and-Magnus-Carlsen.html "Vishy Anand and Magnus Carlsen"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110708142605/http://chessvine.com/archives/60-Vishy-Anand-and-Magnus-Carlsen.html |date=8 July 2011 }}</ref>

Anand is the first player to have won five titles of the [[Corus chess tournament]].  He is the first player to have won each of the Big Three  supertournaments at the time: [[Tata Steel Chess Tournament|Corus]] (1989, 1998, 2003, 2004, 2006), [[Linares Chess Tournament|Linares]] (1998, 2007, 2008), and [[Dortmund Sparkassen Chess Meeting|Dortmund]] (1996, 2000, 2004).

Anand has a stellar record at the annual [[Melody Amber|Melody Amber Tournament]] (2 separate and unique [[Blindfold chess|Blindfold]] and [[Fast chess|Rapid Chess]] supertournaments played): he has 5 overall prizes (winning in 1994, 1997, 2003, 2005, and 2006), and has the most "rapidplay" titles, winning 9 times. He is also the only player to win the blind and rapid sections of the tournament in the same year (twice, in 1997 and 2005).

Anand won three consecutive [[Advanced Chess]] tournaments in [[León, León|Leon]], Spain, after Kasparov introduced this form of chess in 1998, and is widely recognised as the world's best Advanced Chess player, where players may consult a computer to aid in their calculation of variations.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chesscollection?cid=1017919|title=Advanced Chess matches|access-date=17 February 2022|archive-date=17 February 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220217005707/https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chesscollection?cid=1017919|url-status=live}}</ref>

Anand's collection ''My Best Games of Chess'' was published in 1998 and updated in 2001. His individual tournament successes include the [[Corus chess tournament]] in 2006 (tied with Topalov), [[Dortmund Sparkassen Chess Meeting|Dortmund]] in 2004, and [[Linares chess tournament|Linares]] in 2007 and 2008. In 2007 he won the Grenkeleasing Rapid championship for the tenth time, defeating [[Levon Aronian]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=4061|title=Mainz 2007&nbsp;– Anand wins Rapid Final|last=Fischer|first=Johannes|date=20 August 2007|website=ChessBase|access-date=13 October 2011|archive-date=19 November 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111119064920/http://chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=4061|url-status=live}}</ref> Just a few days before, Aronian had defeated Anand in the [[Chess960]] final.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=4056|title=Mainz 2007&nbsp;– Aronian wins Chess960 world championship|date=17 August 2007|website=ChessBase|access-date=13 October 2011|archive-date=19 November 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111119060243/http://chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=4056|url-status=live}}</ref>

In March 2007, Anand won the Linares chess tournament and it was widely believed that he would be ranked world No. 1 in the [[FIDE]] [[Elo rating]] list for April 2007. But Anand was No. 2 on the initial list released because the Linares result was not included. FIDE subsequently announced that Linares would be included,<ref>[http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=3768 ChessBase] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070405210350/http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=3768 |date=5 April 2007 }}.
