Viswanathan Anand Interview with Lichess

@AnlamK said ^

Every country you visited had an alien language. You just didn't know your way. You had one guidebook and you tried to think. When you spoke to people, you had almost no common experiences. Maybe a few movies were common knowledge, but otherwise you had nothing in common with a person from another country. Whereas now, you might have 20 series or 30 books in common.

My world champion, fast-playing brother, who are these people who are reading so many books that one might have 30 books in common with them?

It's a matter of speech, as the saying goes: "The world has become a village.". It's a metaphor as these days it's hard not to know a lot about the world in general, and, it has become easy to find information about almost everything.

Theo Wait is not the founder of Lichess it is Thibault Duplessis so Viswanathan Anand is not talking to Lichess.

Thibault is also just the founder of Lichess. Lichess is just a website, so you would need a video of Anand talking to a website.

If I was a World Champion, I would not walk away from defending it. If one has been given a chance, one needs to seize it.

monotony collapses time , novelty unfolds it.

if you are undisputed world champ for 5 years continuously, you will most likely feel the need for novelty cz like he said it just gets tedious to do the same thing repetitively and the months on years of prep the team and u as player have to do is truly monotonous especially in a lonely game like chess
