Modern Chess is too much concerned with things like Pawn structure. Forget it, Checkmate ends the game

I am acutely conscious, from vast experience in opens, that guys around, say 2100 or more can definitely play chess and that one often has to work very hard to beat them.

Unlike my esteemed colleague Garry Kasparov, I don't restrict the strength of opposition to Elo <2000, as fly-swatting makes poor spectator sport. (on simultaneous exhibitions)

If chess is a vast jungle, computers are the chainsaws in a giant environmentally insensitive logging company.

Surely, serious problems can't be solved just by talking about them.

I know that with perfect play, God versus God, Fritz versus Fritz, chess is a draw.

Chess is ruthless: you've got to be prepared to kill people.
