Patzer sees a check, gives a check.

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

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

I love the game - and I hate the Russians because they've almost ruined it. They only risk the title when they have to, every three years. They play for draws with each other but play to win against the Western masters. Draws make for dull chess, wins make for fighting chess.

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

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

I hope the Icelandic government grants me political asylum.
