Deux Fous Gagnent Toujours, Mais Trois Fous,

The Fact That A Player Is Very Short Of Time Is To My Mind, As Little To Be Considered As An Excuse As, For Instance, The Statement Of The Law-breaker That He Was Drunk At The Time He Committed The Crime.

I Think That For The Highest Achievements Nowadays... Need To Have The Stable As A Rock Scientific Base. And Also Need To Own Modesty.

For Success I Consider Three Factors Are Necessary: Firstly, An Awareness Of My Own Strengths And Weaknesses; Secondly, An Accurate Understanding Of My Opponent's Strengths And Weaknesses; Thirdly, A Higher Aim Than Momentary Satisfaction. I See This Aim As Being Scientific And Artistic Achievements, Which Place The Game Of Chess On A Par With Other Arts.

I Believe That True Beauty Of Chess Is More Than Enough To Satisfy All Possible Demands.

Chess Is A Matter Of Vanity.
