00:00And in terms of, as you said, the preparation as well, that's involved in classical, for people at home, they may not know, there's so much preparation goes involved, especially with engines, and it sort of takes a lot of the creativity out of the game of chess.
00:16You had Bobby Fisher, he created, obviously, Fisher Random, or Chess 960. You recently competed in a competition of that last week. How did you enjoy that? Is that something you're going to focus on more in the future?
00:30Yeah, I really enjoy. It shouldn't be confused. I like the slower aspects of, I like playing slower chess quite a bit. It is kind of fulfilling in a different way to sit at the board for a longer time and delve a little bit deeper into everything.
00:52But as you said, there has to be some room for creativity. And I feel the way that classical chess is being played these days, you really have to go quite far away from the best lines to find something that hasn't kind of been analyzed, more or less, towards a draw.
01:11And certainly playing freestyle, or Fisher Random, or whatever you want to call it, has kind of given me a little bit of that childish joy of just being creative from the get-go.
01:26It's kind of given me that back a bit. So I've enjoyed that immensely, and certainly hope to do that a lot in the future as well.
