For me art and chess are closely related, both are forms in which the self finds beauty and expression.

Once he had selected the path he was going down he really had to stick with it in a 16 game match. He had to try and hit in the one direction but unfortunately for him - though fortunately for me! - he hit in the wrong direction.

It made a big difference to my match stamina. I couldn't imagine I would have been so energetic during the match - it really gave me a welcomed extra boost!

In the current FIDE World Championship, on the knock-out system, weaker players have good chances. Those, who in a long match would practically have no chance, here may creep through.

Chess is so deep, I simply feel lost.

It is rightly said that the most difficult thing in chess is winning a won position

Only he, who penetrates into the depth of the game, can express his personality in it.
