When you play against an experienced opponent who exploits all the defensive resources at his command you sometimes have to walk time and again, along the narrow path of 'the only move'.

Even in the heat of a middlegame battle the master still has to bear in mind the outlines of a possible future ending.

To lose one's objective attitude to a position, nearly always means ruining your game.

The essence of Chess is thinking about what Chess is.

If you have made a mistake or committed an inaccuracy there is no need to become annoyed and to think that everything is lost. You have to reorientate yourself quickly and find a new plan in the new situation.

The most powerful weapon in Chess is to have the next move

Chess is imagination.
