Chess is so deep, I simply feel lost.

Objectivity consists in understanding that the only one who never makes a mistake is the one who never does anything.
Vladimir Kramnik
Image
I made a better decision in choosing my team. Sure, I had a bigger choice of players to choose from - but I couldn't have asked for a harder working group of players who did an incredible job.
Vladimir Kramnik

It made a big difference to my match stamina. I couldn't imagine I would have been so energetic during the match - it really gave me a welcomed extra boost!
