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

For example, computer defends well, but for humans its is harder to defend than attack, particularly with the modern time control.

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

Nowadays there is more dynamism in chess, modern players like to take the initiative. Usually they are poor defenders though.

Which do I prefer? Sex or chess? It depends on the position.

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.

I also follow chess on the Internet, where Kasparov's site is very interesting.
