Uncle Anand's secret was his kasrat in both classical and rapid formats - he trained his mind for marathon and sprint! He made India believe a desi boy could dominate a global game, yaar. For me, watching his 2012 World Championship prep videos at the Academy is like spotting perfect form on a heavy bench press – pure technique and calm under pressure. That’s why I save for my gym’s treadmill, so our local kids feel that same champion mindset starting out!
