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

When I used to go to the Manhattan Chess Club back in the fifties, I met a lot of old-timers there who knew Capablanca, because he used to come around to the Manhattan club in the forties - before he died in the early forties. They spoke about Capablanca with awe. I have never seen people speak about any chess player like that, before or since.

I like to make them squirm.

People have been playing against me below their strength for fifteen years.

There was open collusion between the Russian players. They agreed ahead of time to draw the games they played against each other. Every time they drew they gave each other half a point.

Psychologically, you have to have confidence in yourself and this confidence should be based on fact.

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