I like to do projects in which you can see statistical results. I am very happy for all these small children, who have been the biggest group of victims of iodine deficiency.

In Kansas I have a chess school.

The fact that a knight is temporarily on the edge of the board is of no great significance.

Just make the right estimation of your own strengths and weaknesses, and also that of your opponent.

My studies with Botvinnik brought me immense benefit, particularly the homework assignments which forced me to refer to chess books and to work independently.

By all means examine the games of the great chess players, but don't swallow them whole. Their games are valuable not for their separate moves, but for their vision of chess, their way of thinking.

Chess is my life, but my life is not chess.
