Quotes
[edit]- Chess speaks for itself.
- I have never cheated in an over-the-board game. And other than when I was 12 years old I have never cheated in a tournament with prize money. I decided the only way to make up for my mistake was to prove that I could win over the board events. That has been my mission.

There will be a day when I will be the best chess player in the world.

On Magnus Carlsen
[edit]- The chess world is officially a joke. THIS HAS NEVER BEEN DONE IN HISTORY. I can’t believe that the official body of chess is being controlled by a singular player FOR THE 2ND TIME THIS WEEK. THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE WORLD CHAMPION!
- This refers to FIDE allowing Magnus and Nepomniachtchi to share the title of 2024 World Blitz Chess Champion after exempting Magnus from a dress code ban on jeans in the preceding Rapid Championship.[2]
