Chess is so deep, I simply feel lost.

Chess is a matter of daily training.

Every top player has his own style, just as every painter has his own personal signature.

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.

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.

Playing rapid chess, one can lose the habit of concentrating for several hours in serious chess. That is why, if a player has big aims, he should limit his rapidplay in favour of serious chess.
