It is very difficult to play a single blitz game! You want to play for a long time. So I tend not to do that anymore.

Carlsen will be ridiculously difficult to play against. (on the 2013 World Championship match)

Confidence is very important - even pretending to be confident. If you make a mistake but do not let your opponent see what you are thinking then he may overlook the mistake.

If revenge motivates you, go for it! But the main thing is to set your game in order.

Intuition in chess can be defined as the first move that comes to mind when you see a position.

You need to motivate yourself, no matter what-definitely when things are bad, but also when things are good. Or else, you risk becoming complacent.

In any match, there are few critical moments where there's no second best decision. The rest of the moves are intuitive.

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.

For every door the computers have closed they have opened a new one.

A win is a win, which is about that particular moment.

ownergy= ownership + energy. A word i coined together to mean working with a clear sense of ownership and energy to achieve great success. Brimekonsult.

A good lover will do that, see something worthwhile in you that you never knew was there. And when there's something you don't like to see in yourself a good lover won't see it either.

Rivers of tear drops, these sharp pains in my heart, if this was the way that you love, you never should have loved me

Only God who made us can touch us and change us and save us from ourselves.

People who call themselves actors and can't ever get work; they do need to get another profession.

But the most wretched thing, is it not-is to drag out, as I do, a useless existence. If our pains were only of some use to someone, we should find consolation in the thought of the sacrifice.

But I was too restless to watch long; I'm too Occidental for a long vigil. I could work at a problem for years, but to wait inactive for twenty-four hours - that's another matter.

I can't fault [Donald] Trump for firing [Craig] Deare. Then again, I also can't fault Deare for going berserk. Sometimes a marriage just doesn't work.

I was so skinny, they gave me the nickname stechetto - the stick. I was tall, thin, ugly and dark like an Arab girl. I looked strange. All eyes. No flesh on my bones.
