When I am White I win because I am White. When I am Black I win because I am Bogoljubov.
Efim Bogoljubov
Peter Svidler clearly needs to be more ambitious and take more risk. 12 draws out of 14 games, I mean, come on, that’s not a Champion’s attitude there!
Anish Giri
If the 12th game (from the match Carlsen-Karjakin)… were a restaurant dish, I would send it back to the chef.

I detest the endgame. A well-played game should be practically decided in the middle-game!
David Janowski
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
