Chess helps you to concentrate, improve your logic. It teaches you to play by the rules and take responsibility for your actions, how to problem solve in an uncertain environment.

I have to play an opponent, a very powerful opponent, that studied all my games, that has a unique ability -- the best on the planet -- to collect all this information and analyze that, and I know nothing about him, ... I said 'him.' I meant 'it.'

I feel that my chess strengths are still here, ... I believe I can still improve.

I am lucky, ... that the popular sport in the Soviet Union was chess and not baseball.

Chess is mental torture.

All women are inferior to men.
