In chess, you should be as cool as a cucumber.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm a pretty good chess player.
Cucumber reminds me of my mother making me eat sprouts.
I consider myself to be a genius who happens to play chess.
I attend to my fitness. I go the gym every day and try to maintain my physical fitness; without that, it is tough to take challenges on the chess board.
I felt that chess... is a science in the form of a game... I consider myself a scientist. I wanted to be treated like a scientist.
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.
All that matters on the chessboard is good moves.
It's easy for me to get along with chess players. Even though we are all very different, we have chess in common.
Chess is a very tough game, and psychologically a tough game. And of course, chess needs a lot of qualities, human qualities. And so you must have a very strong nervous system, and then you must be well prepared; you must be able to work a lot.
Maybe if I didn't have the talent in chess I'd find the talent in something else. The only thing I know is that I have talent in chess, and I'm satisfied with that.
