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

Chess is so deep, I simply feel lost.

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

I don't know whether computers are improving the style of play, I know they are changing it. Chess has become a different game, one could say that computers have changed the world of chess. That is pretty clear.

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.

In chess one cannot control everything. Sometimes a game takes an unexpected turn, in which beauty begins to emerge. Both players are always instrumental in this.

No - I'm quite calm inside during the game for most of the time - not 100%, but generally very calm.
