Go Vishy!
Chess players, like scientists and technical people, are great at their stuff, but they have no training for media interviews.
Media people are paid to ask questions that will spice things up, but don’t take the bait.
Decide on what you want to say, and stay on message. If someone asks you if black is jinxed, etc., don’t improvise an answer, just say whatever you decided a-priori. This is very hard for chess players and technical folks to accept.
