"Chess is life".
"All I want to do, ever, is play chess".
"Chess is war over the board. The object is to
crush the opponents mind."
"All that matters on the chessboard is good moves."
"As Olafsson showed me, White can win... It's
hard to believe. I stayed up all night analyzing,
finally convincing myself, and, incidentally,
learning a lot about Rook and Pawn endings in the process."
"If I win a tournament I win by myself. I do the playing, no-one helps me".
"Morphy was probably the greatest genius of them all."
"I think it's almost definite that the game is a draw theoretically."
"You can only get good at chess if you love the game."
"I like to make them squirm."
"I really love the dark of the night. It helps me to concentrate."
"Chess demands total concentration and a love for the game."
"I prepare myself well. I know what I can do before I go in. I'm always
confident."
"There are tough players and nice guys, and I'm a tough player."
"I like to do what I want to do and not what other people expect me to do.
This is what life is all about, I think."
"I play honestly and I play to win. If I lose, I take my medicine."
"I know people who have all the will in the world but can't play good
chess."
"Genius. It's a word. What does it really mean? If I win, I'm a genius. If I
don't,I'm not."
