"On the other hand, chess is a mass sport now and for chess organisers shorter time control is obviou..." — Boris Spassky

When I am in form, my style is a little bit stubborn, almost brutal. Sometimes I feel a great spirit of fight which drives me on.

We were like bishops of opposite color.

We can compare classical chess and rapid chess with theatre and cinema - some actors don't like the latter and prefer to work in the theatre.

Time control directly influences the quality of play.
