For me, the most important thing is to continue to play well and to be a positive figure and hopefully a role model for kids as well.

I don't really watch too many movies. I don't have the patience usually to watch one, one and a half or two hours in a row.

There are certainly loads of players that I admire; I try to learn from all of the great masters both of the past and contemporary as well.

I played like a child!

My father, a fine chess player himself, has been a massive influence throughout my life.

I don't look at computers as opponents. For me it is much more interesting to beat humans.

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