You bring to chess facets of your personality and what you are. I have interests other than chess, like music and world and current affairs. I also have many friends around the world with whom I like to keep in touch.

If I'm interested in what I'm doing, other people will be interested in it.

I'm a pretty good chess player.

All I want to do, ever, is play chess.

I organize a chess festival in Hungary. I support chess in schools, and I have my own chess foundation. And I started writing books.

Chess is my life, but my life is not chess.

Right now I'm really happy with how things are going with my chess career, so I'm not thinking of doing anything else.

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!

People shouldn't be interested in me. They should be interested in me if I'm not doing what I promise.

I'm interested in what's new. I'm interested in change. I'm interested in a different game in life.
