00:00From game 27 to game 48, probably my greatest accomplishment.
00:11One of the reasons I always felt comfortable with new challenges
00:16is that I learned from my early days, and that's probably the result of lessons
00:22from my mother, that playing chess was not just about winning or losing.
00:28Of course, you have to try to win. Of course, winning is vital.
00:33But on top of all, it's about making the difference.
00:38It's not just winning the game because your opponent made a mistake.
00:42Of course, an opponent makes a mistake. That's why you win.
00:45But it's about coming up with new ideas.
00:47It's always challenging your own excellence.
00:53It's all like competing against your own perfection.
00:59You won, but it does matter.
01:02You look at your games, you find your mistakes, and next time you have to do better.
01:06As long as you compete against your own excellence,
01:11you are no longer short of opponents.
01:16I always looked for new ideas.
01:17I always wanted to be ahead of a curve.
01:24When I played chess up to the very end, even at age 40,
01:29it was a very brutal day schedule.
01:36I played a game, five, six hours.
01:39I analyzed immediately after the game.
01:42And then I just spent time preparing for new games.
01:46So it was roughly 10 hours, if not more, of chess every day for two weeks for the whole tournament.
01:53And I always feel that making mistakes, it was like a physical pain.
01:58So we just, I could talk.
