I Was Never Invited To The White

Chess Demands Total Concentration

I Give 98 Percent Of My Mental Energy To Chess Others Give Only 2 Percent

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.

I Am The Best Player In The World, And I Am Here To Prove It.

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