      Absolutely, I love these kinds of interviews. I just HATE questions like "how did you feel when he blundered?" or "you are now in second place in the standings, what is your strategy going forward?". There is no way to answer these types of questions in an interesting way. Heck, I can answer them myself. "Good" and "play good chess".
