I really enjoy the experience of playing humans. The psychological game is so much more important.

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

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

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.

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 am trying to beat the guy sitting across from me and trying to choose the moves that are most unpleasant for him and his style.

I don't think there is a thing like overconfidence in chess. It's always better to be too confident than too reluctant.
