Over the last half century the television interview has given us some of TV’s most heart-stopping and memorable moments. On the surface it is a simple format – two people sitting across from one another having a conversation. But underneath it is often a power struggle – a battle for the psychological advantage.
Sir David Frost
Click on the following link to find Sir David Frost’s interview with Kasparov, which he gave shortly before his sad demise.
Given that Mr. Frost is past his prime and that Kasparov is wily enough to evade clever questions, I think its fair to say that the interview isn’t a classic. It is, however, professional and probing enough to keep you watching -they even managed to get the history right too! But in chess terms a theoretical draw perhaps, with neither player spending much time outside their preparation. Anyway, its always a pleasure to see chess being handled well by those in the media who are unfamiliar with it, I’ll leave the final words to Sir David Frost.
Don’t aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.
