In chess, as in life, opportunity strikes but once.

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

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

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'.

The essence of Chess is thinking about what Chess is.

It is annoying that the rules of chess do not allow a pawn to take either horizontally or backwards, but only forwards ... This psychological tuning is ideal for attacking purposes, but what about for defence?

A game of chess is not an examination of knowledge; it is a battle of nerves.
