The winner is the one who makes the next-to-last mistake.

I talk to myself because I like dealing with a better class of people.

It is said that an ounce of common sense can outweigh a ton of 'variations'.

Any opening is good enough, if its reputation is bad enough.

Shall we ever live to see the following wise prohibition - the audience is forbidden to smoke and the masters are forbidden to 'smoke out' the audience by playing exchanging variations?

I never defeated a healthy opponent.

An isolated pawn spreads gloom all over the chessboard.
