A lifetime in not enough to learn everything about chess.

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.

I consider chess an art, and accept all those responsibilities which art places upon its devotees.

Chess is not only knowledge and logic

Capablanca was snatched too early from the chess world. With his death we have lost a great chess genius, the like of whom we will never see again.

Chess will always be the master of us all.

You can become a big master in chess only if you see your mistakes and short-comings. Exactly the same as in life itself.
