Chess is an infinitely complex game, which one can play in infinitely numerous and varied ways.

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

I go to bed at 4 a. m. Almost all chessplayers do.

So basically it's very simple: to start with, if you want to win the match, you shouldn't be afraid of him. There are still many, many things to do, but above all this is the most important: Don't be scared of him!

The Berlin Defence suited my strategy for the match. I had a defensive strategy - Actually, I had in my pocket some other sharper stuff to fall back on - but first I wanted to try the defensive strategy with Black and it worked so well.

Now, two years have passed and the situation is completely different: no one wants to organise this match.

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.
