Gashimov: "I've got a will to win"

Gashimov: “I’ve got a will to win”

By mishanp on January 11, 2011

Vugar Gashimov’s interview for Chess-News after his victory in Reggio Emilia was a vivid reminder of the importance of the human element in chess. He talks about motivation, how not all novelties are found by computers, and how Sofia Rules can lead to less interesting chess.
