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