I like the moment when I break a man's ego.

There isn't a woman player in the world I can't give knight-odds to and still beat.

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

Well, I kind of split my life into two pieces. One was where my chess career lies. There, I kept my sanity, so to speak, and my logic. And the other was my religious life. I tried to apply what I learned in the church to my chess career too. But I still was studying chess. I wasn't just "trusting in God" to give me the moves.

When I was eleven, I just got good.

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

I felt that chess... is a science in the form of a game... I consider myself a scientist. I wanted to be treated like a scientist.
