Chess can help a child develop logical thinking, decision making, reasoning, and pattern recognition skills, which in turn can help math and verbal skills.

I believe that the best style is a universal one, tactical and positional at the same time.

There are no take-backs—just as in life. You must think before you move.

When men lose against me, they always have a headache ... or things of that kind. I have never beaten a completely healthy man!

Win with grace, lose with dignity!

I think that is the difference between the very good and the best.

Chess is a miniature version of life. To be successful, you need to be disciplined, assess resources, consider responsible choices and adjust when circumstances change.
