In chess, as played by a good player, logic and imagination must go hand in hand, compensating each other.

An hour's history of two minds is well told in a game of chess.

None of the great players has been so incomprehensible to the majority of amateurs and even masters, as Emanuel Lasker.

The best way to learn endings, as well as openings, is from the games of the masters.

You may learn much more from a game you lose than from a game you win. You will have to lose hundreds of games before becoming a good player.

The winning of a pawn among good players of even strength often means the winning of the game.

Chess is more than a game or a mental training. It is a distinct attainment. I have always regarded the playing of chess and the accomplishment of a good game as an art, and something to be admired no less than an artist's canvas or the product of a sculptor's chisel. Chess is a mental diversion rather than a game. It is both artistic and scientific.
