I’ll take my five positions per second any day, thank you

Viswanathan Anand

Being the undisputed world champion is a relief. We instituted a unified chess title, I am the absolute world champion.
VISWANATHAN ANAND

Champion relief Title
I keep forcing, I keep learning new things in the game, and so far I have been taking challenges as they come.
VISWANATHAN ANAND

Challenges Game Keep Learning
In chess, knowledge is a very transient thing. It changes so fast that even a single mouse-slip sometimes changes the evaluation.
VISWANATHAN ANAND

Chess Evaluation Sometimes
When you play with the best in the world, it is important that you not lose focus. You must be fully focused. Even a minor error could result in a massive defeat.
VISWANATHAN ANAND

Errors Focus Play
There are some aspects of work you need to keep working on and no matter what environment you are in. Continuous learning is very important. It’s what I call ‘competitive tension’, which is about having a competition around.
VISWANATHAN ANAND

Competition Important Need
If revenge motivates you, go for it! But the main thing is to set your game in order.
VISWANATHAN ANAND

Game Order Revenge
I think the draw quotient has always been high in world championship matches because the amount of effort people put into neutralizing each other’s openings. It’s just now with computers that it has reached a new level.

Chess Five Position
Each match I approach like a new one. The work is so immense that you don’t have time to sit and ponder.
VISWANATHAN ANAND

Approach Immense Pondering
I don’t know how many calories an average chess player burns per game, but it often exceeds that of a player in ball games. It is not only the chess as such: You need to be fit and undergo complicated preparation.
VISWANATHAN ANAND

Average Games Player
We want more women players to take up chess. There are few participants at the national level and hope it will grow.
VISWANATHAN ANAND

Level Player Want
It is important that you don’t let your opponent impose his style of play on you. A part of that begins mentally. At the chessboard if you start blinking every time he challenges you then in a certain sense you are withdrawing. That is very important to avoid.
