Without the element of enjoyment, it is not worth trying to excel at anything.

Right now I'm really happy with how things are going with my chess career, so I'm not thinking of doing anything else.

Some people think that if their opponent plays a beautiful game, it's okay to lose. I don't. You have to be merciless.

Unfortunately I'm still not a fashion expert.

My father, a fine chess player himself, has been a massive influence throughout my life.

It's nice to be financially secure. Apart from that, I really don't care too much about money.
