Chess Is So Deep, I Simply Feel

The Development Of Beauty In Chess Never Depends On You Alone. No Matter How Much Imagination And Creativity You Invest, You Still Do Not Create Beauty. Your Opponent Must React At The Same Highest Level.

I Started Playing Chess When I Was About 4 Or 5 Years Old. It Is Very Good For Children To Learn To Play Chess, Because It Helps Them To Develop Their Mental Abilities. It Also Helps To Consolidate A Person's Character, Because As It Happens Both In Life And In A Chess Game We Have To Make Decisions Constantly. In Chess There Is No Luck And No Excuses: Everything Is In Your Hands.

When I Speak Of The Beauty Of A Game Of Chess, Then Naturally This Is Subjective. Beauty Can Be Found In A Very Technical, Mathematical Game For Example. That Is The Beauty Of Clarity.

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 An Infinitely Complex Game, Which One Can Play In Infinitely Numerous And Varied Ways.
