   The "[1]Sunday puzzle" for the [2]Streatham & Brixton Chess Club
   website is a quotation puzzle (!). Who said the following, 2001?

     Anand, by the way, did not have a strong tournament, and it is
     quite well known that he is not a very patient person. In his youth
     he played very quickly, living only on his enormous talent. He
     never became the great player he could have been, and I predict he
     will not be

   Since by that point Anand had just become FIDE champion and had been
   near 2800 for some years, it's a remarkably brassy thing for a
   commentator to say or write. Anyway, I have no idea who said or wrote
   it, so you'll have to go to the S & B site to learn the answer. (But
   if you do know, please comment here!)
