It is difficult to play against Einstein's theory -on his first loss to Fischer

To play for a draw (at any rate with White) is to some degree a crime against chess.

I have always thought it a matter of honour for every chess player to deserve the smile of fortune.

If (Black) is going for victory, he is practically forced to allow his opponent to get some kind of well-known positional advantage.

Naturally, the psychological susceptibility of a match participant is significantly higher than a participant in a tournament, since each game substantially changes the over-all position.

Without technique it is impossible to reach the top in chess, and therefore we all try to borrow from Capablanca his wonderful, subtle technique.

If you wait for luck to turn up, life becomes very boring.
