I don't think that nature envisaged an insurmountable mechanism that would hinder any country from taking the path of democratic development.

...comparing the capacity of computers to the capacity of the human brain, I've often wondered, where does our success come from? The answer is synthesis, the ability to combine creativity and calculation, art and science, into whole that is much greater than the sum of its parts.

I would not draw definitive conclusions from that. If we look at South and North Korea, it is pretty hard to believe that we're dealing with the same people. Half of the people are forced to live in a concentration camp the other have created one of the most dynamic economies in the world.

The loss of my childhood was the price for becoming the youngest world champion in history. When you have to fight every day from a young age, your soul can be contaminated. I lost my childhood. I never really had it. Today I have to be careful not to become cruel, because I became a soldier too early.

Ironically, the main task of chess software companies today is to find ways to make the program weaker, not stronger, and to provide enough options that any user can pick from different levels and the machine will try to make enough mistakes to give him a chance.

There is no doubt that [Vladimir] Putin is responsible for this crime, whether or not he gave the order to commit the murder [of Boris Nemtsov] himself. Putin created the conditions and atmosphere that have made this kind of thing possible.

By this measure (on the gap between Fischer & his contemporaries), I consider him the greatest world champion

We've been saying Putin is a dictator for years who doesn't care about the law.

A grandmaster must memorize thousands of chess duels in his head, as these are for him what words of the mother tongue are to the ordinary people and what notes are to a musician.

Do as little as necessary to appear to be doing something without actually committing to a cause or course of action.

I have some security that could protect me against provocations but of course there are more terrible actions that could not be stopped by any security.

If you're already in a fight, you want the first blow to be the last and you had better be the one to throw it.

The public must come to see that chess is a violent sport. Chess is mental torture.

Chess is an art and not a spectator sport.

There are fixed rules in chess, and no one knows how the game will end.

Sometimes the hardest thing to do in a pressure situation is to allow the tension to persist. The temptation is to make a decision, any decision, even if it is an inferior choice.
