The best tournament that I have ever played in was in 1950. It was great - a waiter came to you during the game, and you could order anything you wanted to drink (even some vodka, if you liked). Pity, there are no longer tournaments organized in this manner.

When I am in form, my style is a little bit stubborn, almost brutal. Sometimes I feel a great spirit of fight which drives me on.

Recently I saw Kasparov and he looked to me as still young and potent champion.

I don't play in tournaments, but I follow some.

Nowadays the dynamic element is more important in chess - players more often sacrifice material to obtain dynamic compensation.

The best indicator of a Chess Player's form is his ability to sense the Climax of the game.

The place of chess in the society is closely related to the attitude of young people towards our game.
