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

The Soviet Union was an exception, but even there chess players were not rich. Only Fischer changed that.

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

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

I don't want ever to be champion again.

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.

The computer age has arrived, and it influences everything: analysis, preparation, information. Now a different talent is required - the ability to synthesize ideas.
