He who fears an isolated Queen's Pawn should give up Chess.

One of these modest little moves may be more embarrassing to your opponent than the biggest threat

I already came upon the world as a extraordinary human being; to my parents' great horror, I was equipped with a clubfoot which, however, did not hamper my rapid progress.

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

If the defender is forced to give up the center, then every possible attack follows almost of itself.

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

Always put the rook behind the pawn.... Except when it is incorrect to do so.
