There are moments in my life when I think about what could be done differently, but.
No. Experience happiness and joy and pride. Just. Just to. Just a touch of white.
No, but it's this. It's the. It's.
Look, I made many mistakes in my life, so I just. It's the. I know that at the end of the day, it's. I believe in the butterfly effect.
So it's the. It's the.
I knew moments where I could. Now, if I'm there at that point in 89, in 93, you pick up a year. I could improve my actions by not doing this stupid thing. But then how do you know that I will have all other accomplishments? I just. I'm. I'm afraid that, you know, we just have to just follow this. If you may call wisdom of Forest Gump.

I'm happy with who I am and where I am today, and I'm very proud, not only with my chess accomplishments, but that I made this transition. And since I left chess, I've built my own reputation that had some influence on the game of chess, but it's not directly derived from the game. I'm grateful for my wife, who helped me to build this life. We actually married in 2005. It was my third marriage. That's why I said I made mistakes in my life. But. And by the way, I'm close with two kids from my previous marriages. So that's. That's the. I mean, I managed to sort of to balance my life. And here, you know, I live in New York, so we have two kids born here in New York. It's new life, and it's. You know, it's. It's busy. Sometimes I wish I could. You know, I could limit my engagement in many other things that are still, you know, taking time and energy. But life is exciting, and as long as I can feel that I have energy, I have strengths, I have passion to make the difference, I'm happy.
