There is technology where you can watch the match live online and also on TV. If people understood the game, I'm sure we would have a lot of chess fans by now.

Each outing is its own game. You roll on your game plan. It is a different chess match each time you go out there. I just try to be prepared.

I also follow chess on the Internet, where Kasparov's site is very interesting.

If the media didn't know I played chess, there'd be no angle on me at all.

You cannot say, 'Go! Go! Rah! Rah! Good move!' People want some emotion. Chess is an art and not a spectator sport.

I'm not a big fan of watching my matches.

Chess is life.

Never having played Chess before, it was most interesting to be playing the game with no pieces in front of me. But I still knew how to stroke my hair when I won.

Chess is not only knowledge and logic.

I honestly don't read that much. Obviously I read chess books - in terms of favorites, Kasparov's 'My Great Predecessors' is pretty good.
