“We’re flooded with information – the key is making sense of it”: An interview with Vishy Anand

One prominent guest of the Candidates Tournament in Cyprus is five-time World Champion Vishy Anand, who knows how it feels to play in and win—the Candidates. In an interview with ChessBase, he recalls the early days of databases and floppy disks, talks about the temptations of computer games, how preparation has changed over the years, and the upcoming World Championship match between challenger Javokhir Sindarov and reigning World Champion Gukesh. | Photo: Nils Rohde
