In chess, as in life, opportunity strikes but once.

To lose one's objective attitude to a position, nearly always means ruining your game.

The essence of Chess is thinking about what Chess is.

A game of chess is not an examination of knowledge; it is a battle of nerves.

Chess is imagination.

When you play against an experienced opponent who exploits all the defensive resources at his command you sometimes have to walk time and again, along the narrow path of 'the only move'.

I always love to do my own stunts when they let me, right?

It is among men of genius and science that atheism alone is found.

There's a category for me. I like to be referred to as a good singer of good songs in good taste.
