Mainz 2007

I think the players in this world championship are in different leagues. Karjakin is excellent—Carlsen is special.
Garry Kasparov 2016
Who was the greatest chess player? If chess is an art, Alekhine. If chess is a science, Capablanca. If chess is a struggle, Lasker.

” Chess is a sport. A violent sport.”
Marcel Duchamp
