I still love to play chess. So I do not even spend a minute on the possibility to step back.

I'm a pretty good chess player.

Chess for me is not a game, but an art. Yes, and I take upon myself all those responsibilities which an art imposes on its adherents.

Chess is a lot of fun for me. Football is a physical game, and in chess you can just beat someone mentally - you outwit somebody, outmaneuver them, think ahead of them.

I consider myself to be a genius who happens to play chess.
