00:00You have to remember that it's your fault and you just have to recover your confidence.
00:07It's about looking in the mirror and saying, look, next day you should do better.
00:13You lose the game. We're all humans. You cannot take it aside, so you still think about it.
00:21You cannot make this game torture you forever, so you just eventually have to think about other games.
00:27But it's there, so there are normal human feelings about your own failure.
00:36And I just knew that I have to live with that.
00:40And the best way to put it aside is just to prepare for the next game, ideally to win the next game.
00:46And then you can just move on.
00:49Routine changes because the chess career is a long one.
00:59So obviously when I played Karpov, it was one routine. I was much younger.
01:05But also we started playing matches with Karpov at 5 p.m. Moscow time.
01:10So 84, 85, 86.
01:14And that requires quite a different distribution of your time.
01:20I had some of the routines up to mid-90s about my food and about my preparation for the match.
01:29But something that always was an important part, whether it was an 80s or a 90s, it's your ability, my ability to sleep, to have enough time with your brains recovering.
01:46And my ability to sleep, no matter how tough was the situation in the tournament, no matter how much pressure was on my shoulders, that was a key element of my success.
