Chess is life.
I don't play chess with my life, ya' know.
I was world champion. For me, chess is my life. It is everything.

Some people see life as a game of chess, while others prefer to see it as a game of cricket; but the longer I live, the more I think of it as a game of Consequences.
I spend hours playing chess because I find it so much fun. The day it stops being fun is the day I give up.
Chess has given me a lot more than I could ask for. I have been able to feel special, travel the world and do what I truly enjoy. Moreover, chess players love being their own boss and hate having to wake up early!
Chess is intellectual gymnastics.
All I want to do, ever, is play chess.
