The first great chess players, including the world champion, got by perfectly well without constant coaches.

Blunders rarely travel alone.

I lost the match. I blame only myself for this. There were many opportunities to win. But I missed them, no one else.

The truth is that my chess development was nothing out of the ordinary, and it proceeded probably at a pace no faster than others.

The fact that a knight is temporarily on the edge of the board is of no great significance.

The ideal in chess can only be a collective image, but in my opinion it is Capablanca who most closely approaches this.

Chess is everything: art, science, and sport.
