Chess Is So Deep, I Simply Feel

Look At The Catastrophic Record Vishy Anand Has Against Garry Kasparov. Kasparov Managed To Beat Him Almost Everywhere They Played, Even Though Vishy Anand Has Belonged To The Absolute Top Players In The World For Fifteen Years. This Difference Cannot Be Explained Purely In Chess Terms, There Must Have Been Some Psychology.

Intellectual Effort Gives Me Enormous Pleasure

Now, Two Years Have Passed And The Situation Is Completely Different: No One Wants To Organise This Match.

Part Of My Preparation For The World Champion Match Against Kasparov Was To Be Ready For His Off-board Tactics. I Did Not To React To Them At All. Once You Start Thinking About These Things During The Game, Even Analysing Them, You're Caught.

I Made A Better Decision In Choosing My Team. Sure, I Had A Bigger Choice Of Players To Choose From - But I Couldn't Have Asked For A Harder Working Group Of Players Who Did An Incredible Job.
