🇮🇳 Viswanathan Anand on the mental toll of professional chess:
"When you play at the top level, you spend hours and hours in front of a chessboard or computer screen. Your brain is running at full capacity, constantly calculating variations, anticipating your opponent’s moves, and managing intense pressure. It requires a level of focus and obsession that takes a real heavy toll on your mind."
"The danger is when chess becomes the only thing in your life. If your entire self-worth is tied to the result of a single game or a tournament, every loss feels catastrophic. That intensity over years can burn a player out or lead to psychological fatigue. That’s why having anchor points outside of chess, family and other interests, is crucial to keeping your sanity over a long career."
