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
Politics is a team game, here it is necessary to compromise, to take into account the views of other people. As for Garry, he is quite a contentious, totalitarian person. But in general, I’m sorry that Kasparov switched to a role that does not match the scale of his personality.
Vladimir Kramnik 2015
Kasparov’s book are the best, as far as high level analyses are concerned.

My relation with Korchnoi depends on whether he has slept well. If he had bad dreams, he speaks a lot of rubbish.
Anatoly Karpov 2005
Petrosian would never have beaten me if he had played like that in 1963.
