The strongest computer, against which I played in October 2002, can examine four million positions per second. You can work out how many it plays through in six or seven minutes but they are too weak.

I work at chess even when you do not see it. Dont think Im crazy, but I can give an interview and at the same time be thinking about a very complicated position. Sometimes when I go to bed in the evening I can still work.

In that case I would probably prefer to go to the mountains of Tibet and spend the rest of my life praying.
