I think the players in this world championship are in different leagues. Karjakin is excellent—Carlsen is special.

You can’t look too annoyed or they’ll look for the mistake you’ve made. A lot of the time it’s about looking for these opportunities and if you give them a clue, the good players will find it.

Carlsen simply plays chess well. It seems to me that in such cases people are inclined to look for some supernatural explanation, although the simplest explanation is also the most appropriate: the guy simply plays chess well.

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.
