I don't consider myself a particularly young chess player. I have been playing in the best tournaments in the world since I was 16 years old. In other sports, if you have been playing for seven years, you are not a young prodigy any more. You're one of the pros.

Kids love games and chess is a game where you have to sit down and concentrate and it just helps in every way.

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.

It's just not my nature to go around idolizing people.

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.

Unfortunately I'm still not a fashion expert.

There are so many games that I've seen that I've learned from. I never - that's also part of the same - never single out a particular player or a particular game.
