In games against humans, you often win because the opponent blunders a piece, and you can often survive when you do it yourself. Against the computer, you make only one mistake - the last one.

I am convinced, the way one plays chess always reflects the player's personality. If something defines his character, then it will also define his way of playing.

Objectivity consists in understanding that the only one who never makes a mistake is the one who never does anything.

Even if you play perfectly, a fault of your opponent's can destroy the entire beauty of the game.

An impatient person plays differently than a more patient person.
