Kramnik’s a very difficult player to play with: Anand

``You know the best part about this hotel room location is that I straight away look into a Night Club,’’ said Viswanthan Anand, while pointing to the window of his hotel in Bonn.

It did. But then entertainment was not exactly on his list as he was firmly focused with the task on hand - to win the World Chess Championship in Match format.

This, he made it very clear when quizzed how he relaxed, breaking into his usual grin and saying: ``Relax? I never did. I was totally under pressure all the time and now my body is slowly trying to unwind.’’
