Toby: Wel, started playing with my dad when | was about 11 and I joined my club four years ‘ago when my mom found an article in a local newspaper about the team from our local chess club winning a national tournament. ‘My mom thought | would leam a lot from these guys. Now I'm one of the best players. ‘All my opponents are much older than me but 'm used to it because it's like that ‘everywhere. Anyway there are not too ‘many players my age. Anew eyInterviewer: Playing chess on the internet is very popular ‘now, isn't it? Would you recommend that to new players? Toby: 1 used to play chess on the internet a lot and twas good up to a point. But | don't anymore because I found my game wasn't developing, Anyway, there's nothing ike the thrill of playing face-to-face. it's more exciting and more challenging, Interviewer: Has watching the grand masters play helped to develop your game? Toby: Oh definitely. Veselin Topalov is my favourite player. He's an aggressive player and risks everything to win, and he doesn't mind sacrificing pieces if he has to, Sometimes | think he's going to lose and then I'm really surprised when he wins, Interviewer:So what's the secret of your success? How do yyou decide which moves to make? Toby: When makinga move, | normally go on intuition. look at the position and sey. "Which move looks comfortable to me?" After that, | choose about three moves and analyse them. | play some variations in my head. What ‘would the position be after three moves or five moves? | ook atthe plans of the opponent to ee i have to do something against them or ‘not. There is no best way to play a position It depends on the player. But most of the time, its just a question of knowing when to make an aggressive move and when to play a defensive move. It comes with experience Interviewer:Do you think you'll ever get to be a grand ‘master yourself? Toby: tthe moment my ambition is to be ranked inside the top 100 players younger than 21 in the US Chess Federation. 'm currently ranked inthe top 150 but | don't see my future career inchess, Interviewer: Why's that? Toby: Well, for one thing, I don't think | have the personality you need to be one of the top players. | probably could, if relly put a lot of effort into it, be a chess trainer but it doesn't pay well. So it's better for me to play for fun. Interviewer: Experts always recommend that parents teach their children chess to help them learn about logic. Do you think that’s useful? (5) Complat Fist Corti Toby: Yes. | think chess can teach you a lot of things. You learn how to read a person by analysing the way they play chess. You find out what kind of person they are; whether they're ‘creative or analytical. For example, some ‘people's body language also helps you to see if they are confident or worried but the best. players are very controlled. Interviewer:Some people say that 2 game of chess is like the game of if. Do you agree with that? Toby: No, don'tthink chess is ike life.| mean in, some ways | suppose you could say it's similar. Many people set themselves targets and plan ‘ahead for the future, for example. But in my ‘mind, it's really important to separate chess and life because in chess, you can plan every move you make and you have a feirly good idea of what will happen next.
