Chess is imagination.

It is no secret that any talented player must in his soul be an artist, and what could be dearer to his heart and soul than the victory of the subtle forces of reason over crude material strength! Probably everyone has his own reason for liking the King`s Gambit, but my love for it can be seen in precisely those terms.

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.

Some pieces in the King's Indian appear on a 'special price' list: the dark square bishops are at the top of that list.

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

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

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'.
