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

The essence of Chess is thinking about what Chess is.

When everything on the board is clear it can be so difficult to conceal your thoughts from your opponent.

Chess is infinite, and one has to make only one ill-considered move, and one's opponent's wildest dreams will become reality.

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

Theory regards this opening as incorrect, but it is impossible to agree with this. Out of the five tournament games played by me with the King's Gambit, I have won all five.

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.
