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

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.

The first great chess players, including the world champion, got by perfectly well without constant coaches.

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.

An amusing fact: as far as I can recall, when playing the Ruy Lopez I have not yet once in my life had to face the Marshall Attack!

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.

To be champion requires more than simply being a strong player; one has to be a strong human being as well.
