All Chess players should have a hobby

It's always better to sacrifice your opponent's men

Tactics is knowing what to do when there is something to do. Strategy is knowing what to do when there is nothing to do.

The ability to create and to control the tension of battle is perhaps the principal attainment of the great player.

The tactician must know what to do whenever something needs doing; the strategist must know what to do when nothing needs doing

The mistakes are there, waiting to be made

An isolated pawn spreads gloom all over the chessboard.
