  Anand on success in chess today

  Classical games was far superior 50 years ago. You were considered a world champion when you won in that format. Blitz was played casually. It was unlucky for me I dominated rapid chess and some blitz. But at the time there was official rating for rapid. Now in the last 10 years there are dozens of records being tallied up, I lived in the pre-record era. As people caught familiar with it, rapid chess caught up with classic pretty fast. There is still a gap. You should have an open mind with formats, play whichever he audience is willing to watch. If you produce a good quality game, great. Main thing is to show your skills.
