Anatoly Karpov
Like dogs who sniff each other when meeting, chess players have a ritual at first acquaintance: they sit down to play speed chess.
Anatoly Karpov
I lost the match. I blame only myself for this. There were many opportunities to win. But I missed them, no one else.
Anatoly Karpov
This whole fuss did not only damage Fischer's image, but that of the USA as well. The way the Americans treated one of their most popular citizens did not make a positive impression worldwide.
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
I like 1.e4 very much, but my results are better with 1.d4.
