How does it feel to be the world champion?

Somebodysson

what do you do when you leave the board during the match? besides bathroom, is there something else you do?

anish giri noted that you steered clear of main lines as much as possible. Was this preparation? were you purposely avoiding well-analyzed lines?

Are there things you did differently than most other GMs in your training and development while rising from a 13-year-old GM to number one in the world that you believe contributed strongly to your remarkable ascent?

Now when you are world chess champion, what are you're next goals in chess, rating of 3000 perhaps?

What was his state of mind just before the first match?

What would you suggest to improve the calculation skills of any player?

Now that you have won chess's ultimate title, what is next?

What is your favourite game or move of all time?

Congratulations with the title! Maybe it's a bit early for such questions, but I still wanna ask. Are you not scared to lose a motivation to play good chess after this achievement! What are your next goals in chess?

The first four games were all draws. Could you still gage from them that you were the stronger player and were you confident that you would win?

When he will release DVD's / Books with tips, etc.I'm sure he have something new to tell us.

As you are obviously highly intelligent, educated and a logical thinking person, what do you think of anarchism, the politics of the day, chess as a philosophie (if something does not work, play another variation!)?

What are your goals now that you've cemented your status with the WC as  the undeniably strongest player in the world? Simen Agdestein commented recently that he thought your goal would be the one that it has always been: perfection! Is this still a goal, and what does it mean given that we can never actually achieve perfection, but only approach it ever closer? What would getting "close enough to perfection" look like to you?

Are there any other goals that you still feel hungry and motivated to achieve, such as breaking 2900?

You are called a Genius. Do you think someone who practices really hard and gets the best training in the world match you..? How is hard work and talent distinct..?

I'm inspired by your outstanding personality. Particularly, when you were at the age of 13, you devoted yourself to chess and decided to become the world champion.
