00:00upper hand facing the opposition.
00:08Mikhail Batvinnik is one of my greatest tutors, former world champion.
00:15I remember Batvinnik kept telling me, Gary, you know, calm down.
00:19So this is just don't rush.
00:21So sometimes, you know, you have to stop and just take a deep breath
00:26and let opponents make a move.
00:27So it's always important to remember that sometimes your opponent can make a mistake.
00:34So you should offer him a chance to make a mistake.
00:38It's a bit naive concept, but I know that, for instance, these days,
00:41playing simultaneous exhibitions, I learned one rule,
00:44and that's why I have pretty good results even being retired,
00:47playing simultaneous exhibitions and not losing since 2001.
00:51If you don't see an immediate breakthrough, just make a few quiet moves.
01:01Let your opponent play.
01:03Give them a chance without creating, of course, weakness on your side.
01:06Give them a chance to weaken their position.
01:09That's one of the lessons from my early days.
01:11You have to see the big picture, but you have to feel what is the right spot
01:22where you have to concentrate.
01:23Also, you have to feel the climax of the game.
01:28That's one of the lessons I remember from Boris Spassky,
01:31another great world champion, who helped me with his unique advices.
01:36His theory was that the strength of the player at the current moment,
01:41it's his or her ability to identify the climax of the game
01:46because you have so much time available.
01:51In the good old days, we had two and a half hours for 40 moves.
01:55Now it's less time.
01:57But still, you have X amount of time.
