“You can't be a world-class player if you're not a world-class student of the game.”

“The giant looks in the mirror and sees nothing.”

“It's not about how smart you are. It's about how you learn to think.”

“My goal is to bring the many benefits of chess to a wider audience, especially to young people in disadvantaged communities.”
