With the Berlin I was able to set up a fortress that he could come near but not breach.

Every month I look through some ten thousand games, so not as to miss any new ideas and trends.

But with the Berlin, I was able to allow him to get near, but not quite near enough, and I knew where to draw the line with the fortresses I had set up.

I don't like to show my emotions at the board, not because they might give something away to an opponent, but because that's my style: I like to keep it to myself.

Chess is so deep, I simply feel lost.

When I was a child I liked the games of Capablanca, and later I was captivated by Alekhine's play.

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