It's little quirks like this that could make life difficult for a chess machine.

I usually never stay at the board after a game. Especially against Spassky. I made a dumb suggestion and he refuted it instantly! I know I'm going to have to play him some day and it was really stupid to look like such a jerk in front of him.

I object to being called a chess genius because I consider myself to be an all around genius who just happens to play chess, which is rather different. A piece of garbage like Kasparov might be called a chess genius, but he's like an idiot savant. Outside of chess he knows nothing.

Computers are our only opponents that don't always have no excuse when losing against me.

The system set up by F.I.D.E. ... Insures that there will always be a Russian world champion... The Russians arranged it that way.
