A woman can beat any man; it's difficult to imagine another kind of sport where a woman can beat a man. That's why I like chess.

It's a shame to be the face of chess and to play chess badly.

If people will be interested in me, they will be interested in chess also.

Chess is changing. I hope chess is getting more popular, more spectacular.

It's now possible to play and take lessons from any place of the world. The concept of physical distance doesn't exist in the online world, and that is so cool!

There is nothing that disgusts a man like getting beaten at chess by a woman.
