I am boring. I am boring!

I have nothing to do with politics. I came here [Yugoslavia] to play chess and nothing else.

I studied that first Karpov-Kasparov match for a year and a half before I cracked it, what they were doing, and discovered that it was all prearranged move-by-move. There's no doubt of it in my mind.

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

Chess is war over the board. The object is to crush the opponents mind.

Your body has to be in top condition. Your Chess deteriorates as your body does. You can't separate body from mind

Well, you know, in America everybody is interested in making the dollar fast. In Yugoslavia no matter how much you hustle you're not going to get rich, so you might as well play chess.
