"This match was not a master-class
for Artem Timofeev, because I lost it. In fact, I learned something
from it. I shall rather consider it well, before I agree to play the
next match of this kind", maestro said after the match was over.
"I want to thank all
the organizers of the match, and mostly the chairman of the Tatarstan
chess federation Nail Ibragimovich Mukhamedzianov", said Artem
Timofeev, "the match aginst such a strong opponent gave me a
nice opportunity of practicing. I think, that Korchnoi's defeat may
be explained by his poor sporting form at the time. I appreciate Victor
Lvovich's words that it was unknown who really was a tutor and who
was a pupil. Of course, it was me". I would like to present one
more instructive phrase of Korchnoi: "What differs a chess player
from, say, an academician? The latter one obtained the knowledge and
may live with it through one's entire life, and then may be carried
to the cemetery with it. And the chess player must fight, proving
his strength all the time. I play matches like this one for the sake
of playing!"
These are the words of the real fighter!
