Nothing Is So Healing As The Human

You Have To Have The Fighting Spirit. You Have To Force Moves And Take Chances

In Chess So Much Depends On Opening Theory, So The Champions Before The Last Century Did Not Know As Much As I Do And Other Players Do About Opening Theory. So If You Just Brought Them Back From The Dead They Wouldn't Do Well. They'd Get Bad Openings.

I Object To Being Called A Chess Genius Because I Consider Myself To Be An All Around Genius Who Just Happens To Play Chess, Which Is Rather Different. A Piece Of Garbage Like Kasparov Might Be Called A Chess Genius, But He's Like An Idiot Savant. Outside Of Chess He Knows Nothing.

Well, I Kind Of Split My Life Into Two Pieces. One Was Where My Chess Career Lies. There, I Kept My Sanity, So To Speak, And My Logic. And The Other Was My Religious Life.

I Felt That Chess... Is A Science In The Form Of A Game... I Consider Myself A Scientist. I Wanted To Be Treated Like A Scientist.
