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

After I won the title, I was confronted with the real world. People do not behave naturally anymore - hypocrisy is everywhere.

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.

Often, in the Ruy Lopez, one must be patient, wait and carry on a lengthy and wearisome struggle.

There is only one thing Fischer does in Chess without pleasure: to lose!

In my country, at that time, being a champion of chess was like being a King. At that time I was a King and when you are King you feel a lot of responsibility, but there is nobody there to help you.

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