Chess Is Like War On A Board

Too Many Times, People Don't Try Their Best. They Don't Have The Keen Spirit; The Winning Spirit. And Once You Make It You've Got To Guard Your Reputation - Every Day Go In Like An Unknown To Prove Yourself. That's Why I Don't Clown Around. I Don't Believe In Wasting Time. My Goal Is To Win The World Chess Championship; To Beat The Russians. I Take This Very Seriously.

Blitz Chess Kills Your Ideas.

I Felt That Chess... Is A Science In The Form Of A Game... I Consider Myself A Scientist. I Wanted To Be Treated Like A Scientist.

I Don't Believe In Psychology. I Believe In Good Moves

The Turning Point In My Career Came With The Realization That Black Should Play To Win Instead Of Just Steering For Equality.
