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

What the devil possessed me to reply 1. ... e5?? I compltely forgot that Spassky, like Spielmann in the past, very much likes to play the King's Gambit.

Far from all of the obvious moves that go without saying are correct.

Independence of thought is a most valuable quality in a chess-player, both at the board and when preparing for a game.

Chess is imagination.

It would be as naive to study the song of the nightingale, as it would be ridiculous to try and win a King's Gambit against a representative of the old chess guard.

There is not a single true chess-player in the world whose heart does not beat faster at the mere sound of such long beloved and familiar words as 'gambit games'.
