For Me Art And Chess

Only He, Who Penetrates Into The Depth Of The Game, Can Express His Personality In It.

The Development Of Beauty In Chess Never Depends On You Alone. No Matter How Much Imagination And Creativity You Invest, You Still Do Not Create Beauty. Your Opponent Must React At The Same Highest Level.

Every Top Player Has His Own Style, Just As Every Painter Has His Own Personal Signature.

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 Believe Every Chess Player Senses Beauty, When He Succeeds In Creating Situations, Which Contradict The Expectations And The Rules, And He Succeeds In Mastering This Situation.
