Preparation for a world championship was always an arms race, in previous times with books, then with seconds, today with computers.
Vishy Anand 2008
We must finish once and for all with the neutrality of chess. We must condemn once and for all the formula “chess for the sake of chess”, like the formula “art for art’s sake”. We must organize shock brigades of chess-players, and begin immediate realization of a Five-Year Plan for chess.
Nikolai Vasilyevich Krylenko
Kramnik was the luckiest man in the history of chess. He never won a single cycle, he got all the matches that he played for political reasons.
Veselin Topalov 2014
I believe motivation is one of the most important things one has to have after playing for many years. Chess is a very complete, well thought-out game, which is why people have been playing it since ancient times.

School is a waste of time for me. I want to be world chess champion, and they can’t teach me anything there.
