It has mostly been natural and I have been similar outside of Chess too but last couple of years I’m more engaging and open outside of Chess but it was never through effort everything happened on its own
@DGukesh Hello Gukesh, Recently, Anish mentioned that you have different modes that you’re one person when you’re playing a game and another when you’re, for example, attending a wedding. Is it something natural, or is it a mindset you’ve developed through practice? #AMAwithGukesh

On a normal day around 6 hours but if I have a game that day for sure its less becayse playing itself takes a few hours and I need energy for that
@DGukesh On average, how many hours does your chess training go on for? And does this change depending on whether you have a game that day? #AMAwithGukesh

I dont really see the point in openings like that and I will certainly not do that
Are you planning to play any meme opening in the GCL Tournament for example Bongcloud/Alien Gambit or maybe a newly invented Surprise Meme opening by the World Champion himself? #AMAwithGukesh

For sure there is extra pressure and I feel it too but with each change I have adapted sooner or later in my career so far and I’m sure I will do that this time too!
@DGukesh Do you feel that you've that extra pressure of being the world champion while playing??? Or do you just play the game like before???? #AMAwithGukesh

I think there is nothing to be surprised about all of them got a chance and made the most of it and that is what sport is you cant say I’m stronger so I deserve to be there you need to show up and perform and all the guys there did that! I am working on improving myself now!
@DGukesh Hi Gukesh, Are you surprised with the list of Candidates this year or do you think its quite normal.When would you start preparing to defend your title? #AMAwithGukesh

Training with computers has benefits and drawbacks and you learn a lot of new concepts and makes work easier but if it crosses the line it can kill some of the creativity

It has brought for sure a glamorous look to Chess and its nice to play as a team but woud not say it has changed my overall approach!
@DGukesh @GCLlive #AMAwithGukesh #MegaMove #TechMGCL What has been the biggest impact of GCL on your game, and has the league format changed your overall chess approach ?

Sometimes I look back and feel surprised of how effortless some very tough decisions were especially some of my best games

Is there any opening you once hated but now absolutely love? @Gukesh_Official #AMAwithGukesh

I think every game has some tough decisions maybe recently going for a draw against Magnus in Zagreb was the toughest
What was the toughest decision you’ve ever made over the chessboard? @Gukesh_Official #AMAwithGukesh

I have thought about how easy it would be if the Board was reversed like the right corner h1 being a dark square!?

I think all the games leave a lesson but one that strikes me the most is Round 7 against Alireza in Candidates
Which match from your past still teaches you something today, @Gukesh_Official #AMAwithGukesh
