Kid. I had fame. I had bucket loads of fame. Know what it got me, a failed relationship and a lost championship. I know I'm the best chess player in the world. That's something I worked for and I don't need to be famous to know it
When I look back on it in 20 years, either here or at home, will I remember the newspaper headlines and the fans, or will I remember the games it took to make me World Chess Champion.
