"Sometimes an opponent stops breathing, and you realise……" — Viswanathan Anand
"Sometimes an opponent stops breathing, and you realise something drastic has happened and they are trying not to let on. Or they go quiet, or they get fidgety. After a while you pick these things up and become more alert to them."
