"I always describe chess as a kind of psychological warfare. It's a fight of two intellects, two egos, two wills,". "But when playing a computer suddenly you don't have an opponent, you have an operator in front of you who just moves the pieces. It's a kind of wall, you know. It's a face, but the person represents virtually nothing to you." Few people were prepared for the upset that took place a year later. - Kasparov G.
