I just finished a long exclusive and fascinating interview with Anand. Even after knowing Anand for almost 20 years, there were a few things I did not know. For example, he talked about how he learned chess and who helped him in the begining. The content will be on my month ChessCafe.com column and the key excerpts will be available on www.ChessDiscussion.com later. If you are not a member, you can register for a free account on www.ChessDiscussion.com. It will take about 30 seconds.

Hello Susan! Please convey this message to Anand:
“Hello Vishy! Congratulations on your becoming World Champion!!!
We all hope that you go on to win your match against Kramnik or whoever it is you play next year! We, your fans, would like you to stay fit, healthy, and competitive, for atleast another 5-7 years. So please maintain your health, stick to your vegetarian diet, remain a teetotaler, and exercise and do yoga, combined with regular chess training.
You need to reduce some weight, and that might make you more energetic and active during games.
Best regards to you and your family!”
