Anatoly Karpov
My studies with Botvinnik brought me immense benefit, particularly the homework assignments which forced me to refer to chess books and to work independently.
Anatoly Karpov
The truth is that my chess development was nothing out of the ordinary, and it proceeded probably at a pace no faster than others.
Anatoly Karpov
Happiness should always remain a bit incomplete. After all, dreams are boundless.
Anatoly Karpov
No, no, it is obvious that the ECU should act as a close alliance for the benefit of chess.
Anatoly Karpov
The first great chess players, including the world champion, got by perfectly well without constant coaches.
