	Svidler to Gustafsson: "Uh - nobody told me I have to work as a chessplayer!" Gustafsson to Svidler: " Just buy my DVD" Svidler to Gustafsson: " But I still have to know some endgames" Gustafsson to Svidler: " Life is unfair - just buy my DVD" God to Gustafsson and Svidler: "Didn't you read my endgame book. Chess as Life just doesn't make sense! ? "

I thought Svidler's comments were more on the mark, what I found interesting also was their favouritism towards opening prep and tactics. I guess that a lot of these things are subjective to each person, but I still found their insights very interesting. I agree with you on Kasparov. I think Capablanca was from a by-gone time. Things are different now. Also, I notice in my own games, it comes down to either lack of understanding of the what to do or what plan to have in the Middlegame, or missing something in my "calculations." My technique is decent for the players I'm likely to encounter. Its really for me about speed and accuracy of visualization.
