In my opinion the Open variation is absolutely correct - and more interesting than the Closed.

The books say that it is not so serious to lose time in a closed position; I am lucky, since these comments have not harmed me too much.

Nimzovitch became then for me more or less the author of the only book which could help me get away from these Euwe books, which, I admit, are very good for the ordinary club player. But once you've reached a certain strength you get the impression that everything that Euwe writes is a lie.

The stomach is an essential part of the Chess master

One charming characteristic of many flank attacks I could mention is that they do not very often lead to simplification: if the attack is parried, there usually are still opportunities left for initiating action in another sector.

Lack of patience is probably the most common reason for losing a game, or drawing games that should have been won.

A chess player never has a heart attack in a good position.
