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 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
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
Chess teaches foresight, by having to plan ahead; vigilance, by having to keep watch over the whole chess board; caution, by having to restrain ourselves from making hasty moves; and finally, we learn from chess the greatest maxim in life - that even when everything seems to be going badly for us we should not lose heart, but always hoping for a change for the better, steadfastly continue searching for the solutions to our problems.
Moving Heart Watches
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.

It's the horsey-shape piece that moves in an l shape. it's what makes chess complicated, and why stupid people can't play chess. go play checkers! knights are the first piece you look at. they elevate the game. no chess master wants to lose her knights.

Stupid Silly Stories
They are not asking you in there for them to learn, contrary to what they're saying. that's not what leftists do. they're not asking you to come in and teach them anything. they want to browbeat you. they want to find out why you're so stupid. they want to find out what you're missing. they want to find out why their brilliance is not reaching and connecting to you. they don't think there's anything wrong with them. what's wrong is their reader base, and they want to figure out what's wrong with you.
