But with the Berlin, I was able to allow him to get near, but not quite near enough, and I knew where to draw the line with the fortresses I had set up.

Only he, who penetrates into the depth of the game, can express his personality in it.

Every top player has his own style, just as every painter has his own personal signature.

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.

My way of playing is very different and Karpov plays very differently as well.

No - I'm quite calm inside during the game for most of the time - not 100%, but generally very calm.

In this respect I suppose I'm the total opposite of Garry. With his very emotive body language at the board he shows and displays all his emotions. I don't.

Now, two years have passed and the situation is completely different: no one wants to organise this match.

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.

Okay, when you start to fight for equality, like Anand did in 1995, you could end up losing game 10, like he did, without putting up any kind of fight.

For us chess players the language of artist is something natural.

You know, our ratings after this match will be very close - I think I can also become the world number one in the not too distant future. However, I'm sure that Garry will also have something to say about this!

At some point he seemed to lose all confidence trying to break down the Berlin Wall. He was still fighting as only Kasparov can, but I could see it in his eyes that he knew he wasn't going to win one of these games.

I feel that my relationship with Kasparov now is much the same as it had been before the match - good. As for his reaction, well it can't be nice to lose your title after so long, but he was very generous.

It made a big difference to my match stamina. I couldn't imagine I would have been so energetic during the match - it really gave me a welcomed extra boost!

The strength of the playing ability is much more important. Only if the strength of the opponent's playing ability is comparable, does the game develop.

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.

Once he had selected the path he was going down he really had to stick with it in a 16 game match. He had to try and hit in the one direction but unfortunately for him - though fortunately for me! - he hit in the wrong direction.

I made a better decision in choosing my team. Sure, I had a bigger choice of players to choose from - but I couldn't have asked for a harder working group of players who did an incredible job.

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.

Chess is an infinitely complex game, which one can play in infinitely numerous and varied ways.

So basically it's very simple: to start with, if you want to win the match, you shouldn't be afraid of him. There are still many, many things to do, but above all this is the most important: Don't be scared of him!

I don't like to show my emotions at the board, not because they might give something away to an opponent, but because that's my style: I like to keep it to myself.

But with the Berlin, I was able to allow him to get near, but not quite near enough, and I knew where to draw the line with the fortresses I had set up.

Even if you play perfectly, a fault of your opponent's can destroy the entire beauty of the game.

For me art and chess are closely related, both are forms in which the self finds beauty and expression.

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.

An impatient person plays differently than a more patient person.

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.

With the Berlin I was able to set up a fortress that he could come near but not breach.

Chess is an infinitely complex game which one can play in infinitely numerous and varied ways.

It's a great, great experience to finally get the reception that you know you rightfully deserve.

Making every record is a process full of tough times.

Global capital markets pose the same kinds of problems that jet planes do. They are faster, more comfortable, and they get you where you are going better. But the crashes are much more spectacular.

With motocross I've found that passion becomes your identity and that identity breaks all barriers.

Everybody talks about that one when they first meet me. 'Man, I still remember the play you shook Jordan.' Everybody gonna always remember it because it was Jordan.

So I'm all of love that could make it today.

I know that I always wanted things. I was always proud of my people, proud of my home, but I always wanted more. I think most people do.

Punishing people for listening to music is exactly the wrong way to protect the music business.

A woman can take care of the family. It takes a man to provide structure, to provide stability.

Ambition is important. Of course you can't get anywhere without talent, but there are a lot of talented people. To succeed, you have to be the most ambitious talented person.

From George Washington to George W. Bush, presidents have invoked God's name in the performance of their official duties.

The mark of a good marketing strategy is not how many gadgets and neologisms are crammed into it, but how effectively it achieves worthy goals. Therefore, how you define your intent will have a profound impact on whether you succeed or fail.

Desert Storm was seen by the military establishment and by some politicians as avenging Vietnam, but it left behind dangerous illusions. The victory was so decisive, and information about it so carefully managed, that the American public was never clearly informed that it was purchased at the price of approximately 100,000 Iraqi lives.

I don't think I got thin. I think I got healthy.

Our enemies are real. But so are the moral questions and long-term political implications of drone strikes.

How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.
