Only He, Who Penetrates Into

I Started Playing Chess When I Was About 4 Or 5 Years Old. It Is Very Good For Children To Learn To Play Chess, Because It Helps Them To Develop Their Mental Abilities. It Also Helps To Consolidate A Person's Character, Because As It Happens Both In Life And In A Chess Game We Have To Make Decisions Constantly. In Chess There Is No Luck And No Excuses: Everything Is In Your Hands.

I Am Convinced, The Way One Plays Chess Always Reflects The Player's Personality. If Something Defines His Character, Then It Will Also Define His Way Of Playing.

In Chess One Cannot Control Everything. Sometimes A Game Takes An Unexpected Turn, In Which Beauty Begins To Emerge. Both Players Are Always Instrumental In This.

The Berlin Defence Suited My Strategy For The Match. I Had A Defensive Strategy - Actually, I Had In My Pocket Some Other Sharper Stuff To Fall Back On - But First I Wanted To Try The Defensive Strategy With Black And It Worked So Well.

Even If You Play Perfectly, A Fault Of Your Opponent's Can Destroy The Entire Beauty Of The Game.
