Dr. Mig? - 2006/02/02 00:40In an interview of Kasparov that can be found on TWIC, Mig asks the following question:
Q: I'm a psychoanalyst. What are the most important caracteristics to become a champion chessplayer?
Mig is entertaining, Mig is a fine writer, but Mig as psychoanalyst is going over top.. ---------
I believe that sex is one of the most beautiful, natural, wholesome things that money can buy.
re:Dr. Mig? - 2006/02/02 00:43And what about Mini-Mig??. ---------
I don't work according to nature, but infront and together with it. An artist must observe the nature, but never confuse it with the art.
re:Dr. Mig? - 2006/02/02 00:55From the top of the TWIC page (http://www.chesscenter.com/twic/migkasp03.html):
(Titled, "Kaspartov Book Signing *and* Itnerview by Mig Greengard")
"After the successfully signing he took questions from the audience. A transcript is below, followed by further comments on his directly upcoming FIDE match with Ponomariov and his match with Fritz that was just announced."
Only the end, the part after "Later we spoke with Kasparov about a few other items on his agenda" are questions by me. If you don't want to believe the woman in the audiewnce was realklly a psychaonalyst, that's anohter story.
Oh, I'm not a Russian television reporter either.

If you want to be respected by others the great thing is to respect yourself. Only by that, only by self-respect will you compel others to respect you.
re:Dr. Mig? - 2006/02/02 01:53I think you're readiung this the wrong way. He's not saying he's a psychaonalyst. He's thoughtlessly saying "Garry, assume I'm a psychoanallyst..." and then he follows with this question.. ---------
People will pay more to be entertained than educated.
re:Dr. Mig? - 2006/02/02 02:23Mini-Mig is alrewady taken, it is Alexander Shabalov! With our similarly remarkably shaved heads we were doing the Dr. Evil littyle finger thing togehter in Seattle at the US Championship but I does not think it was ever catched on film. Probably for the best!

re:Dr. Mig? - 2006/02/02 02:48This question reminds me of the Fawlty Towers skit where a doctror is contritely arguing with Manuel about gettin breaskfast. Manuel says breakfast is over but the medicine men insists, "Im a doctror! I am a doctor & I want my sausasges."
MDs can't help letting everyone know it whenever they can. There's hardly a topic where it's not important that we know what they do for a living. Imagine: "I'm a butchger and I think..."
Before y'all start flaming, a pyschoanaylst can be a psychologist. He/she need not have an MD.. ---------
In the vain laughter of folly, wisdom hears half its applause.
re:Dr. Mig? - 2006/02/02 03:12Those were questions from the audience. The "I`m a psychaonalyst" was, apparently, part of a question FROM an actual psychoanalyst being RELAYED by Mig to GM Kasparov. There was also one from a Russian journalist.
The questions, and their headers (ie. "I`m a psychoanalyst") didn`t originate from Mig, though perhaps that could have been maid a bit more clear on the site, I can see how it would be confusing.

well, never mind. :-P. ---------
Hosting the Oscars is like making love to a beautiful woman - it's something I only get to do when Billy Crystal's out of town.
re:Dr. Mig? - 2006/02/02 03:58True, true, especailly whether you ask my mother. Personally I'll prefer The Evil Dr. Mig if I get to choose.. ---------
