Karpov, Kasparov, Korchnoi have absolutely destroyed chess by their immoral, unethical, prearranged games. These guys are really the lowest dogs around, and if people knew the truth about them, they would be held in more contempt than Ben Johnson, the runner, and they’re going to know the truth when I do this book!

If the 12th game (from the match Carlsen-Karjakin)… were a restaurant dish, I would send it back to the chef.

When Korchnoi was living in the USSR I called him ‘hero of socialist labour’; when he moved to the West I renamed him ‘hero of capitalist labour’!
Boris Spassky
There is no room for gallantry in chess.
