This difference cannot be explained purely in chess terms, there must have been some psychology.
Vladimir Kramnik
Part of my preparation for the World Champion match against Kasparov was to be ready for his off-board tactics. I did not to react to them at all. Once you start thinking about these things during the game, even analysing them, you're caught.
