Don't even mention losing to me. I can't stand to think of it

I prepare myself well. I know what I can do before I go in. I'm always confident.

I give 98 percent of my mental energy to Chess Others give only 2 percent

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.

I play honestly and I play to win. If I lose, I take my medicine.

I hope the Icelandic government grants me political asylum.
