Sitaatit

  • "The truth, however, is that a composer need not work in isolation; there is no reason for us to suppose that Reich's popularity and commercial success brands him as a cult figure unworthy of our attention."

  • "Joten, mitä meillä on jäljellä Kolme turistia Akopian, Movsesian ja Nisipeanu. Koska kaksi ensimmäistä pelaavat ottelun, yksi turisti jatkaa semifinaaliin. Hieno reissu Las Vegasiin ja hyvä syy vierailla Disneylandissa! Arvaamaton ja spontaani Judit, joka on aina vaarallinen vastustajilleen ja välillä itselleen. Kaksi erittäin vahvaa pelaajaa Adams ja Halifman, molemmat kyvykkäitä yllättämään kenet tahansa suosikin. Ja näiden yllä, kaksi tapahtuman suosikkia Kramnik ja irov. Mahdollisuus uudesta ottelusta heidän välillään näyttää melko todennäköiseltä, tosin matkalla finaaliin mitkään voitot eivät ole helppoja knock out -mestaruuskilpailussa."
