Maybe I should publish the book. The world is coming to an end anyway!

That's what Chess is all about. One day you give your opponent a lesson, the next day he gives you one

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.

I am boring. I am boring!

All I ever want to do is just play chess.

But the thing that was great about Capablanca was that he really spoke his mind, he said what he believed was true, he said what he felt. He [Capablanca] wanted to change the rules [of chess] already, back in the twenties, because he said chess was getting played out. He was right. Now chess is completely dead. It is all just memorisation and prearrangement. It's a terrible game now. Very uncreative.

I don't listen to weakies.
