Chess politic is not my dream, but I will be happy when we start to change things and organize a better chess life in the world.
Anatoly Karpov 2010
Preparation for a world championship was always an arms race, in previous times with books, then with seconds, today with computers.
Vishy Anand 2008
I personally believe that Karpov should have been more generous with Kirsan Ilyumzhinov. Kirsan is the only president in the history of FIDE, and maybe in the history of all international federations, who has contributed dozens of million dollars for the sport he loves. By the way, some of these millions went directly to Anatoly’s pocket…
George Makropoulos 2005
Time trouble is blunder time.
Alexander Kotov
Who was the greatest chess player? If chess is an art, Alekhine. If chess is a science, Capablanca. If chess is a struggle, Lasker.
