Life After Chess
Email To A Friend
Please fill in the following information and we'll email this link.
You also urge people to act on intuition.
That was one of my greatest advantages at the chessboard. My intuition was wrong very few times. You have to rely on your intuition. It's like a muscle; you must use it. In fact, we are not doing it all the time. I believe that people, especially now when there is so much information available, are trying to find a very scientific way of resolving problems. But because everybody has access to this kind of information, you have to rely on your personal instincts rather than on information available to everybody on the Internet.
Your instincts led you to anticipate the fall of communism. So why did they let you down when it came to anticipating the dot-com bust, and losing on your investment in a big Web site branded with your name?
I think that it's quite understandable; because I grew up in the Soviet Union, I saw that the system was rotten from inside. I was more adapted to analyze this situation, but in the dot-com gold rush I was one of many in the crowd. My instincts were not trained in analyzing that situation.
In adjusting to life post-chess, what was the one thing you had to unlearn?
I took from chess my ability to analyze the decision-making pattern, and now I understand that I'm not in a very comfortable position of calling the shots. My chess style was very aggressive, but now I have to play to try to bite my opponent rather than to smash him. But it's not very difficult—I wouldn't have stayed on top for 20 years if I didn't learn [how to be objective] when I played chess.
Do you think you're the last chess champion to be well known so broadly?
I think it's probably a correct assessment, because chess has changed, you know. It's more like tennis, because the champions are changing too often. If somebody's No. 1, so what?
Do you think that we'll ever know the answer to whether IBM cheated in the Deep Blue match?
I think it's water under the bridge. I believe they cheated. I believe there was human interference. But it's "I say, they say." At the end of the day, who cares?
