For Me Art And Chess Are Closely

It Is Rightly Said That The Most Difficult Thing In Chess Is Winning A Won Position

Look At The Catastrophic Record Vishy Anand Has Against Garry Kasparov. Kasparov Managed To Beat Him Almost Everywhere They Played, Even Though Vishy Anand Has Belonged To The Absolute Top Players In The World For Fifteen Years. This Difference Cannot Be Explained Purely In Chess Terms, There Must Have Been Some Psychology.

For Me Art And Chess Are Closely Related, Both Are Forms In Which The Self Finds Beauty And Expression.

Every Month I Look Through Some Ten Thousand Games, So Not As To Miss Any New Ideas And Trends.

When I Speak Of The Beauty Of A Game Of Chess, Then Naturally This Is Subjective. Beauty Can Be Found In A Very Technical, Mathematical Game For Example. That Is The Beauty Of Clarity.
