00:00So each loss was a devastating loss because I knew that it was a result of my mistake.
00:09Sometimes blunder, actually more often blunders because I wouldn't recall many games where I was outplayed.
00:18There were a few, but mostly I lost games because I made terrible mistakes.
00:22And I had to recover from this mistake because it was almost like a physical pain.
00:33I felt so badly that I made a mistake and somebody else who was not as good as myself, you know, could celebrate winning the game, which had to be mine.
00:44So I was very angry with myself.
00:48No, it was my opponent. It was myself. It's my own fault.
00:50I always look at my losses, my defeats as my personal fault.
00:56And all I had to do, just work more, just go back to the table, to the chess set and get better.
01:05Very often, actually it's probably more often than not winning next day, I won next day.
01:13Because I got really angry with myself and I could channel this anger into productive energy to achieve the result, achieve positive result.
01:35In the matches, it was different because matches are a long event.
01:42You have one opponent for many games, the World Championship match.
01:47But still, if I recall my famous match with Lucia Annand in 1995, after losing game nine, I had a winning streak.
