I’ve got no regrets about the games themselves, as frankly I’ve never been narcissistic about my play.

Danailov, in his campaign, used the motto – “I know.” One or two months later he said “I am learning.” Three years after, we know that he cannot learn. He gave so many promises, he has done absolutely nothing.

Botvinnik, Korchnoi and Kasparov had to hate the opponent to play successfully. I belong to a different type of chess players. I’m like Keres, Spassky and Portisch. On the board we fight, but in life we get along great.

After the 2nd game I could have returned to Moscow. There was only one way I could have won this match.
Boris Spassky (1974)
I think I would beat Tal pretty easily. Fischer would be more difficult, but I think I could beat him too.
