Chess and boxing have a lot in common, as both sports rely on the right strategy (Chess Quotes)
We perceive after a careful consideration of the evolution of the chess mind that such evolution has gone on, in general, in a way quite similar to that in which it goes on with the individual chess player, only with the latter more rapidly (Chess Quotes)
As a kid, chess was the first thing I studied in a structured way that helped me gain the discipline to study medicine and become successful doctor (Chess Quotes)
I play chess about four hours a day in training camp. You have to decide what move to use, or what combination of moves. I think less when I box because the reaction time is a lot quicker, but some people call me the chess boxer because they say I think too much in the ring. I take my time and they don’t see the action they want. Some boxers just go in there and just throw punches and hope to win (Chess Quotes)
Chess is a very positive way to exercise your mind. It makes you look at the whole picture... what are your options and what is the best thing to do?

Chess and offensive football are quite similar; you sacrifice something now to get something back later (Chess Quotes)
The strategies of offense and defense are very similar between chess and football. Chess really brought closeness to the team back in those days (Chess Quotes)
I started playing chess when I was about 4 or 5 years old. It is very good for children to learn to play chess, because it helps them to develop their mental abilities. It also helps to consolidate a person’s character, because as it happens both in life and in a chess game we have to make decisions constantly. In chess there is no luck and no excuses: everything is in your hands (Chess Quotes)
I started by just sitting by the chessboard exploring things. I didn’t even have books at first, and I just played by myself. I learnt a lot from that, and I feel that it is a big reason why I now have a good intuitive understanding of chess (Chess Quotes)

... My achievements in the field of chess are the result of immense hard work in studying theory (Chess Quotes)
The truth is that my chess development was nothing out of the ordinary, and it proceeded probably at a pace no faster than others (Chess Quotes)
The most intelligent inspection of any number of fine paintings will not make the observer a painter, nor will listening to a number of operas make the hearer a musician, but good judges of music and painting may so be formed. Chess differs from these. The intelligent perusal of fine games cannot fail to make the reader a better player and a better judge of the play of others (Chess Quotes)
Chess can help a child develop logical thinking, decision making, reasoning, and pattern recognition skills, which in turn can help math and verbal skills (Chess Quotes)
There is no physical punishment in chess; suffering goes on inside the mind. You defend a bad position for hours, you suffer. You lose, you suffer like in any other sport. Suffering euphoria comes when the opponent blunders in a winning position, but it is undeserved (Chess Quotes)
All chess masters have on occasion played a magnificent game and then lost it by a stupid mistake, perhaps in time pressure and it may perhaps seem unjust that all their beautiful ideas get no other recognition than a zero on the tournament table (Chess Quotes)
Playing chess has many aspects that can be useful in everyday situations like planning, concentration and combinations. You learn to win but also to lose and to be creative (Chess Quotes)
If a chess statistician were to try and satisfy his curiousity over which stage of the game proved decisive in the majority of cases, he would certainly come to the conclusion that it is the middlegame that provides the most decisive stage (Chess Quotes)
Chess960 is healthy and good for your chess. If you get into it and not just move the pieces to achieve known positions it really improves your chess vision (Chess Quotes)
Boxing is a mental sport. Think of a prizefight as a chess game of mind and body, and you are a little closer to it than if you compare it to a bloody brawl in an alley (Chess Quotes)
You can only win the game when you understand that it is a game. Let a man play chess, and tell him that every pawn is his friend. Let him think both bishops holy. Let him remember happy days in the shadows of his castles. Let him love his queen. Watch him lose them all (Chess Quotes)
Chess is the most intimate game in the world. It’s like making love. By the time we finish our first slow game, I will know all his thoughts (Chess Quotes)
Realize that the social media success equation isn’t big moves on the chess board, it’s little moves made every day that eventually add up to a major shift (Chess Quotes)
I like to play chess with bald men in the park although it’s hard to find 32 of them (Chess Quotes)
When chess masters err, ordinary wood pushers tend to derive a measure of satisfaction, if not actual glee (Chess Quotes)
It is annoying that the rules of chess do not allow a pawn to take either horizontally or backwards, but only forwards... This psychological tuning is ideal for attacking purposes, but what about for defence? (Chess Quotes)
Throughout chess history, great debates have raged about the pros and cons of hanging pawns. The debates are nonsense; the answer is cut and dried. If the pawns can be attacked and forced to move forward, they are weak. If they can be defended and remain where they are, they are strong (Chess Quotes)
Never in the history of chess have so many moves been repeated so often so quickly by so many people who didn’t really understand them (Chess Quotes)
Despite the development of chess theory, there is much that remains secret and unexplored in chess (Chess Quotes)
