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.

Anish Giri
Agon was just sold for one pound and the reputation of Ilyumzhinov’s FIDE is worth even less than that.
Garry Kasparov 2014
“Chess is the struggle against the error.”
