After he won his semi-rapid match against Alexei Shirov in León, we managed to get Vishy Anand before the ChessVibes camera once again. The World Champion was cooperate enough to agree to an interview after his dinner with the organizers and sponsors. And so on Sunday night, about an hour after midnight (!), we had a nice talk about becoming a father, about the Candidates matches in Kazan, about cheating in chess, and much more.

  • I met him in da Prague where he was playing a simultan match against 21 players.

    Czech president V.Klaus was also there because he loves chess. And A.Karpov was also there.

    So I have signatures of all these guys on one list,, ohhh yeeeeeah =D

  • is he married?

  • Based on Anand and Gelfand's head-to-head record, I think it's safe to say Vishy will remain champ through 2012. Such a great champion.

  • Peace to the champ!

  • Fun interview... I liked it very much. :)

  • In fact Gelfand is from Belarus ;P

  • Looking forward to part 2.

  • handshake or no hanshake?

  • @bigfriki I think it's called the Final Masters Bilbao, but I'm not 100% certain. It is held in Bilbao, Spain in September or thereabouts.

  • Houdini FTW !!!
