White lost because he failed to remember the right continuation and had to think up the moves himself

I had a toothache during the first game. In the second game I had a headache. In the third game it was an attack of rheumatism. In the fourth game, I wasn't feeling well. And in the fifth game? Well, must one have to win every game?

When you don't know what to do, wait for your opponent to get an idea; it is sure to be bad.

I look one move ahead... the best!

It is not enough to be a good player... you must also play well

Weak points or holes in the opponent's position must be occupied by pieces not Pawns

It cannot be too greatly emphasized that the most important role in pawn endings is played by the king.
