“One thing with Garry, and I think it is due in a large part to his Soviet training, he'll never quite understand that you have to be able to criticize constructively. When you have someone who is always on your case and it's never good enough no matter how you win a game, it just brings you down, you lose confidence. And as a chess player you have to be confident, you have to believe in yourself.”

I don't.” quote by Vladimir Kramnik](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/fe6/vladimir-kramnik-13744_boards_in-this-respect-i-suppose-i-m-the-total_1974180.jpg)
