Anatoly Karpov
Happiness should always remain a bit incomplete. After all, dreams are boundless.

The days when it was possible to win a serious game only by merit of sporting character or depth of chess understanding have vanished forever. Chess knowledge has become dominant, bypassing all the other factors that contribute to success.
Anatoly Karpov
If the opponent offers keen play I don't object but in such cases I get less satisfaction, even if I win, than from a game conducted according to all the rules of strategy with its ruthless logic.
Anatoly Karpov
