I´m English, but I live in Spain, like Anand, Topalov and Shirov - we sometimes meet in the supermarket.

Magnus joined me in withdrawing from the last World Championship cycle, he wasn´t happy with the FIDE rules, and I find the 2700+ players rather unusual, so now I just blitz on the internet in my free time.  

I tend not to use too much standard opening theory, in order not to give my valuable novelties away in recognised main lines.

I think I´m brilliant, but lesser mortals struggle to understand this.
