Quotes of the Day
I have often written that Karpov is like an iceberg. Well, Kasparov was the Titanic.
Alexander Roshal
What’s been bothering me is not that I haven’t won tournaments, but that I haven’t played very well.
Magnus Carlsen 2017
If I’m thinking for more than 20 minutes about one move, it’s usually a waste. Sometimes you can come up with some amazing solution but most of the time you just end up looping: you consider a move, you reject it, then you’re desperate, you come back to the move, you don’t remember why you rejected it, you have to make a move so you make it – then your opponent replies and you remember why you rejected it. The longest wait I ever did between moves was one hour and five minutes – and the move was horrible.
Magnus Carlsen 2016
” Kasparov was like Samson, but his hair has been shorn (2000).”
Nathan Divinsky
.If we compare Carlsen with Anand or me or someone else, by ten criteria, he will be stronger in eight of them.
