Chess isn't football or hockey.
Some sacrifices are sound; the rest are mine
If you wait for luck to turn up, life becomes very boring.
I can take care of myself! But the "external barriers", my opponents, do indeed concern me.
Just as one's imagination is stirred by a girl's smile, so is one's imagination stirred by the possibilities of chess.
As long as my opponent has not yet castled, on each move I seek a pretext for an offensive. Even when I realize that the king is not in danger.
