“I feel that my relationship with Kasparov now is much the same as it had been before the match - good. As for his reaction, well it can't be nice to lose your title after so long, but he was very generous.”

For me art and chess are closely related, both are forms in which the self finds beauty and expression.
Even if you play perfectly, a fault of your opponent's can destroy the entire beauty of the game.
When I speak of the beauty of a game of chess, then naturally this is subjective. Beauty can be found in a very technical, mathematical game for example. That is the beauty of clarity.
The strength of the playing ability is much more important. Only if the strength of the opponent's playing ability is comparable, does the game develop.
