“A lot of people see a future where you could make a living as a chess player.” — Hikaru Nakamura

Definitely, some of the artistry and poetry has been lost in modern chess. It's very rare that I play a game where I'm like, 'Wow, this is really interesting. There were so many possibilities! It was such a rich game.'

Everybody uses computers to train so much now that the first nine or 10 moves of a match are made without thinking.

When I was younger, I would look at a game with computers and still be fascinated by the possibilities.
