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.

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

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

Although the Knight is generally considered to be on a par with the Bishop in strength, the latter piece is somehat stronger in the majority of cases in which they are opposed to each other.

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

A good player is always lucky.

During the course of many years I have observed that a great number of doctors, lawyers, and important businessmen make a habit of visiting a chess club during the late afternoon or evening to relax and find relief from the preoccupations of their work.
