But I will never go the normal long way, I simply can't afford the time as being world champion would not be my greatest pursuit even if I knew I would succeed. Anyway, famous people don't seem to get pampered so much anyway by a world full of jealous people. And even if people speak nicely to Kasparov, he knows all the time that it is only being polite for their own ego, not because he is so much loved as a person. It's only a game of egos. Who needs it?
