Dr. Vidmar
Chess is a game by its form, an art by its content and a science by the difficulty of gaining mastery in it. Chess can convey as much happiness as a good book or work of music can. However, it is necessary to learn to play well and only afterwards will one experience real delight.
Tigran Petrosian

I think the players in this world championship are in different leagues. Karjakin is excellent—Carlsen is special.

I never make mistakes in chess, I only have hallucinations!
