Chess is not only knowledge and logic

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.

Deux fous gagnent toujours, mais trois fous, non!

In my opinion, a master is morally obliged to seize every sort of opportunity and to try to solve the problems of the position without fear of some simplifications.

Playing for complications is an extreme measure that a player should adopt only when he cannot find a clear and logical plan.

Young players expose themselves to grave risks when they blindly imitate the innovations of masters without themselves first checking all the details and consequences of these innovations.

The purpose of human life and the sense of happiness is to give the maximum what the man is able to give.
