More From Alexandra Kosteniuk

I love chess, and i didn't invent fischerandom chess to destroy chess. i invented fischerandom chess to keep chess going. because i consider the old chess is dying, it really is dead. a lot of people have come up with other rules of chess-type games, with 10x8 boards, new pieces, and all kinds of things. i'm really not interested in that. i want to keep the old chess flavor. i want to keep the old chess game. but just making a change so the starting positions are mixed, so it's not degenerated down to memorisation and prearrangement like it is today.
Games Chess Game People
I object to being called a chess genius because i consider myself to be an all around genius who just happens to play chess, which is rather different. a piece of garbage like kasparov might be called a chess genius, but he's like an idiot savant. outside of chess he knows nothing.
Play Different Genius
Like dvoretsky, i think that (all other things being equal), the analytical method of studying chess must give you a colossal advantage over the chess pragmatist, and that there can be no certainty in chess without analysis. i personally acquired these views from my sessions with mikhail botvinnik, and they laid the foundations of my chess-playing life.
Thinking Views Giving
I started playing chess when i was about 4 or 5 years old. it is very good for children to learn to play chess, because it helps them to develop their mental abilities. it also helps to consolidate a person's character, because as it happens both in life and in a chess game we have to make decisions constantly. in chess there is no luck and no excuses: everything is in your hands.
Children Character Hands
The life of a chess master is much more difficult than that of an artist - much more depressing. an artist knows that someday there'll be recognition and monetary reward, but for the chess master there is little public recognition and absolutely no hope of supporting himself by his endeavors. if bobby fischer came to me for advice, i certainly would not discourage him - as if anyone could - but i would try to make it positively clear that he will never have any money from chess, live a monk-like existence and know more rejection than any artist ever has, struggling to be known and accepted.
Depressing Struggle Artist
From woman, man is born; within woman, man is conceived; to woman he is engaged and married. woman becomes his friend; through woman, the future generations come. when his woman dies, he seeks another woman; to woman he is bound. so why call her bad? from her, kings are born. from woman, woman is born; without woman, there would be no one at all.
