I've never been much of a computer guy at least in terms of playing with computers. Actually until I was about 11 I didn't use a computer for preparing for games at all. Now, obviously, the computer is an important tool for me preparing for my games. I analyze when I'm on the computer, either my games or my opponents. But mostly my own.

When you have fun then you're more interested in learning.

I played like a child!

What I admired most about him [Bobby Fischer] was his ability to make what was in fact so difficult look easy to us. I try to emulate him.

If you want to get to the top, there's always the risk that it will isolate you from other people.

Right now I'm really happy with how things are going with my chess career, so I'm not thinking of doing anything else.

I spend hours playing chess because I find it so much fun. The day it stops being fun is the day I give up.
