Anand, who is giving undivided attention to his match preparation since April, will defend his World Champion title against Kramnik in Bonn, Germany from October 11.
"Well, it's a challenge you have to enjoy it and give it your best. I have prepared well. I guess there is no better way to answer this question," Anand said from Madrid.
"I have done both, a physical regimen as well as extensive work. Since it's a 12-game match keeping the nerves till the end will be very important. Stamina and mental fitness will also be something I will be working on," he said.
