Well, I kind of split my life into two pieces. One was where my chess career lies. There, I kept my sanity, so to speak, and my logic. And the other was my religious life.

There was open collusion between the Russian players. They agreed ahead of time to draw the games they played against each other. Every time they drew they gave each other half a point.

Every chess game is like taking a five-hour final exam.

I'm not afraid of Spassky. The world knows I'm the best. You don't need a match to prove it.

Normally we'd draw the curtain here, but I just wanted to see what he'd play next.
