Dennis Monokroussos in Jaideep Unudurti, Viswanathan Anand

Indian journalist (and long-time friend of this blog) Jaideep Unudurti has had many interviews with Viswanathan Anand over the years, and here is another one. In it, Anand doesn't discuss the chess world per se, but the common cultural perceptions of the chess world and chess players common to the broader culture, particularly as it is seen in three recent films. It's worth a read, and may be worth sharing with some of your "civilian" friends and loved ones.
