According to my experiences, in key events, normally the games’ quality is not as high as other major events. Most brilliant games are not found in championships at present.
Garry Kasparov 2014
Peter Svidler clearly needs to be more ambitious and take more risk. 12 draws out of 14 games, I mean, come on, that’s not a Champion’s attitude there!
Anish Giri
I have always a slight feeling of pity for the man who has no knowledge of Chess
Siegbert Tarrasch
Botvinnik and Tal are among the best; I also like Spassky, but I think Petrosian is better than all of them. His weakness is too many draws, even against players he could beat easily. Maybe he lacks self-confidence.
Robert Fischer 1960
Some players lose ability to think independently and rely on computers completely.
