No, I do not want to sacrifice four days for two games. My time is too valuable to do that

By all means examine the games of the great chess players, but don't swallow them whole. Their games are valuable not for their separate moves, but for their vision of chess, their way of thinking.

If the opponent offers keen play I don't object; but in such cases I get less satisfaction, even if I win, than from a game conducted according to all the rules of strategy with its ruthless logic.

Happiness should always remain a bit incomplete. After all, dreams are boundless.

Blunders rarely travel alone.

I still love to play chess. So I do not even spend a minute on the possibility to step back.

I like to do projects in which you can see statistical results. I am very happy for all these small children, who have been the biggest group of victims of iodine deficiency.
