I am a resilient person. The games of players, like Fischer and Kasparov are excellent, but there is nothing more inspiring in chess than gradually increasing the advantage until you can realize that advantage in positional styles like Karpov or Kramnik. As a predominantly strategic player my favorite opening is Carockan.
