Those who think that it is easy to play chess are mistaken. During a game a player lives on his nerves, and at the same time he must be perfectly composed.

The only positive contribution to chess from Fischer in the last 20 years.

All obvious moves look dubious in analysis after the game.

Chess players, people who travel all over the world, should be trusted or else not sent anywhere at all. Why are these four people (Antoshion and three other official 'minders') sent along to supervise us? With their meagre experience, all that thay did was interfere, more than ever before. And when they were needed, they weren't to be found.

The human element, the human flaw and the human nobility - those are the reasons that chess matches are won or lost.

Every time I win a tournament I have to think that there is something wrong with modern chess.
