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

I think that the World Champion should try to defend the quality of play more than anyone else.

A man who is willing to commit suicide has the initiative.

Time control directly influences the quality of play.

Bobby Fischer has an enormous knowledge of chess and his familiarity with the chess literature of the USSR is immense.

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.

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