Karpov always speaks with pride about his chess victories, about his precious stamps collection. But I never saw him as proud as when he talks about his mother, Nina Grigorievna. I always asked about her in our interviews, because I loved to observe how his face would lit up.

"If it is true that a player’s style is his person, then everyone plays as he is intended to by nature. I am naturally cautious, and I altogether dislike situations which involve risk."
