So the better my partner or my opposition, however you like to think about it, the better my game.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm always looking for a chance to play somebody who's completely opposite of me, just because I find it more interesting.
If I play a more aggressive, stronger guy, I often go through my day feeling a bit better than when I play somebody who's not.
It should be easier to play opposite my wife.
The partner that you have is supposed to make you a better person, and when you're happy, you're a better person.
I like the idea of playing in unison with yourself.
I know that I'm a natural attacking player. I love to attack. I love to play freely; I love to combine and play through balls. That's the nature of my game.
For me, opposition is just another opposition.
If the opponent offers keen play I don't object; but in such cases I get less satisfaction, even if I win, than from a game conducted according to all the rules of strategy with its ruthless logic.
I don't mind how good or bad my partner is, as long as we have a lovely time.
The rivalry is with ourself. I try to be better than is possible. I fight against myself, not against the other.
