ICC Interview with the World Champion
Recently, India celebrated one of its main holidays, the Deepavali festival, celebrated all over the Indian sub-continent as the festival of lights. As a special holiday tribute, ICC Chess.FM arranged an interview with Vishy Anand on his thoughts on becoming world champion and his triumphant return home. Not only that, but there's also exclusive film footage of Anand's homecoming after winning the world championship, where he's feted like a Bollywood star as the crowds turned up in force to celebrate the success of their hero. The 15 min interview with Anand is conducted by India ICC Chess.FM's host Arvind Aaron, with accompanying video produced by ICC Chess.FM's Macauley Peterson.
