There's not many firsts in my career, as I have been a part of many tournaments and fortunate enough to win many. ↗

I don't play a lot of tournaments, but if I don't win a tournament in a year, people are like, 'What in the world is going on?' People don't realize how hard it is to win tournaments. You're not going to go out and play 10 tournaments and win one of them. Your odds aren't that good. ↗

Well, you know, I've bonded with a lot of people over the years, you know. We played the same tournaments year after year and we go back to the same place and many times the seats have been full and that has meant the world to me for sure. ↗

I see myself more as an ambassador of the game. And I hope to bring chess to a higher level in the United States. Making bigger tournaments, more interesting events. Making it a respectable profession for young people to be able to pursue in the future. ↗

I'm content. I want to have better success in the tournaments than I've had, but I know I'm playing well, so I'm happy with that. ↗

If I win seven tournaments in a row, I get so confident I'm in a cloud. A loss gets me eager again. ↗

I did all the right things in so many tournaments. But like I said, sometimes in sports it just goes the other way. Maybe you've already won so much that it evens it out a bit sometimes. I don't know. ↗

Generally the younger generation are not hard working. They will have to put in more effort to achieve results in tournaments. most of them can perform well but they cannot deliver when they play abroad. ↗

My dad sacrificed many things in life for me. He abandoned a very promising and lucrative career of an army officer just so that he could continue helping me with my chess and accompanying me to tournaments. ↗

Women's golf definitely hit a bump in the road. We lost some tournaments due to a combination of things led by the downturn in the economy. ↗
