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

Some people think that if their opponent plays a beautiful game, it's OK to lose. I don't. You have to be merciless.

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

I get more upset at losing at other things than chess. I always get upset when I lose at Monopoly.

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.

Once you're a chess player, you spend a lot of time thinking about the game and you can't get it completely out of your head.

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