Text Quotes
I spend hours playing chess because I find it so much fun. The day it stops being fun is the day I give up  (Chess Quotes) I do not play chess – I fight at chess. Therefore, I willingly combine the tactical with the strategic, the fantastic with the scientific, the combinative with the positional, and I aim to respond to the demands of each given position  (Chess Quotes) Chess is not something that drives people mad; it is something that keeps mad people sane  (Chess Quotes) Have you ever seen a demonstrable example of equality in your entire life? Can it be glimpsed in any dog show or classroom? In any ping pong game or chess match? Of course not. It is a philosophical abstraction, something nowhere to be found in nature  (Chess Quotes) Possibly, over the course of time, the brain capacity of homo sapiens will have made such great progress, that complications as contained in this game can be fathomed instantly with a shrug and a smile. Then, not only will the game of chess have ceased to exist, but also will the remembrance of frequently missed objectives elicit pity, as a reaction to the shortcomings of a lower organized form of life  (Chess Quotes) Chess is similar to boxing. You need to develop a strategy, and you need to think two or three steps ahead about what your opponent is doing. You have to be smart. But what’s the difference between chess and boxing? In chess, nobody is an expert, but everybody plays. In boxing everybody is an expert, but nobody fights  (Chess Quotes) When you ride your bike, you’re working your legs, but your mind is on a treadmill. When you play chess, your mind is clicking along, but your body is stagnating. Climbing brings it together in a beautiful, magical way. The adrenaline is flowing, and it’s flowing all the time  (Chess Quotes) As a chess player one has to be able to control one’s feelings, one has to be as cold as a machine  (Chess Quotes) It’s a very special generation, because during our careers the computer entered chess. So we know how to play without computers, which is also important. We can analyse without computers. I am not saying that younger players cannot do this, but we are more in the habit of doing this. That’s important to improve your chess understanding  (Chess Quotes) Analysis is a glittering opportunity for training: it is just here that capacity for work, perseverence and stamina are cultivated, and these qualities are, in truth, as necessary to a chess player as a marathon runner  (Chess Quotes) Analysis, if it is really carried out with a complete concentration of his powers, forms and completes a chess player  (Chess Quotes) I claim that nothing else is so effective in encouraging the growth of chess strength as such independent analysis, both of the games of the great players and your own  (Chess Quotes) The good thing in chess is that very often the best moves are the most beautiful ones. The beauty of logic  (Chess Quotes) Most chess players know, thanks to the study of master games, that two bishops are stronger than two knights or than bishop and knight, though very few know the reason for this advantage and how to turn it to account  (Chess Quotes) Like dogs who sniff each other when meeting, chess players have a ritual at first acquaintance: they sit down to play speed chess  (Chess Quotes) When I analyse a position, I have a sparring partner who understands chess amazingly well. In a way I feel sorry for him, because of his work with me he cannot play as much chess as he wants. He more or less gave up his playing career  (Chess Quotes) The pleasure to be derived from a chess combination lie in the feeling that a human mind is behind the game, dominating the inanimate pieces... and giving them breath of life  (Chess Quotes) There are some things we do much better than computers, but since most of chess is tactically based they do many things better than humans. And this imbalance remains. I no longer have any issues. It’s bit like asking an astronomer, does he mind that a telescope does all the work. He is used to it. It is just an incredible tool that you can use  (Chess Quotes) Today, chess programs have become so good that even grandmasters sometimes struggle to understand the logic behind some of their moves  (Chess Quotes) Chess programs are our enemies, they destroy the romance of chess. They take away the beauty of the game. Everything can be calculated  (Chess Quotes) I don’t know whether computers are improving the style of play, I know they are changing it. Chess has become a different game, one could say that computers have changed the world of chess. That is pretty clear  (Chess Quotes) Chess will always be in the doldrums as a spectator sport while a draw is given equal mathematical value as a decisive result  (Chess Quotes) It is a well known phenomenon that the same amateur who can conduct the middle game quite creditably, is usually perfectly helpless in the end game. One of the principal requisites of good chess is the ability to treat both the middle and end game equally well  (Chess Quotes) In order to become a grandmaster class player whose understanding of chess is superior to the thousands of ordinary players, you have to develop within yourself a large number of qualities, the qualities of an artistic creator, a calculating practitioner, a cold calm competitor  (Chess Quotes) If we are to elevate the game of chess to a popular sport, grandmasters must become gladiators, otherwise the game will languish on the periphery, a voice crying in the wilderness, condemned to live and die on a cold arctic shore  (Chess Quotes) Chess is a contributor to net human unhappiness, since the pleasure of victory is greatly exceeded by the pain of defeat  (Chess Quotes) A male scorpion is stabbed to death after mating. In chess, the powerful queen often does the same to the king without giving him the satisfaction of a lover  (Chess Quotes) One can imagine a world without essays. It would be a little poorer, of course, like a world without chess, but one could live in it  (Chess Quotes) I was still too weak to understand his chess ideas at that time but I remember being covered in smoke  (Chess Quotes) I have a quite feeling of pity for all those who don’t know chess; almost like I am sorry for those who never learned to love. Chess, like love and music, has the ability of making people happy  (Chess Quotes)
