Every time I win a tournament I have to think that there is something wrong with modern chess.

No chess grandmaster is normal; they only differ in the extent of their madness.

As a rule, the more mistakes there are in a game, the more memorable it remains, because you have suffered and worried over each mistake at the board.

The human element, the human flaw and the human nobility - those are the reasons that chess matches are won or lost.

I try to win every tournament.

Every time you think a negative thought, it's one step in the wrong direction, for me.
