“It's important, according to me, to train in small doses so as to not lose the joy of playing chess. I personally think too many coaching and training classes may take away a child's interest in the game itself. The essential thing to do is practise often and, in case of a doubt, to consult a trainer.”

“My job is to play chess, the game that I love. I achieve what I can in chess. That is what I focus on. Basically, I am always focused on playing the game, and this is important to me.”

“When you are looking to be validated by others, you are living according to their values, not yours.”

“If I lead my life according to someone else, I've screwed my life up.”

“I don't really think about the runs too much. I mean, if we get, like, a five-run lead, then I'll start to pitch according to that.”
