Women, by their nature, are not exceptional chess players: they are not great fighters.

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.

The scale of the man to whom we are bidding farewell today in no way corresponds to the paltry scale of today's authorities.
