It doesn't require much for misfortune to strike in the King's Gambit - one incautious move, and Black can be on the edge of the abyss.

The ideal in chess can only be a collective image, but in my opinion it is Capablanca who most closely approaches this.

After that, Kasparov stepped back from chess which is, and I want this to be clear, not good for chess in general at all. As a whole, the current situation in the chess world leaves a lot to be desired.

I lost the match. I blame only myself for this. There were many opportunities to win. But I missed them, no one else.

No, I do not want to sacrifice four days for two games. My time is too valuable to do that

The priority must be the unification of the world titles to straighten things out. But we should not wait that long anymore to change the situation, because we are running out of time.

I am thinking about chess in schools in particular. In the USA more than 3200 children competed in an event.
