The great World Champions Morphy, Steinitz, and Lasker were past masters in the art of Pawn play; they had no superiors in their handling of endgames. The present World Champion has not the strength of the other three as an endgame player, and is therefore inferior to them.

Chess is a very logical game and it is the man who can reason most logically and profoundly in it that ought to win.

To improve at chess you should in the first instance study the endgame.

Chess is something more than a game. It is an intellectual diversion which has certain artistic qualities and many scientific elements.

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

A passed pawn increase in strength as the number of pieces on the board diminishes.

To my way of thinking, Troitzky has no peer among endgame compsers; no one else has composed so many and such varied endings of the first rank.
