"I always smiled about Judith Polgar; I laughed at Kamsky, but Kramnik knows how to play".

I remember when I went over my game [against] Alexander Ivanov with him, and I saw this tactic that was maybe fifteen moves deep that I was really proud of, and it led to a better endgame for me. And it took me about twenty to twenty-five minutes to figure it out and I got into time trouble. [Kasparov] looked at the position and about ten seconds later he found a problem with my variation, where Ivanov could have proven an advantage. I put it into Fritz, Fritz disagreed, and then when I let it run about a minute, it agreed with [Kasparov], and I was just like, ‘wow!’”

I wish I was that good
