Capture of the adverse King is the ultimate but not the first object of the game
The task of the positional player is systematically to accumulate slight advantages and try to convert temporary advantages into permanent ones, otherwise the player with the better position runs the risk of losing it.
Chess is difficult, it demands work, serious reflection and zealous research.
The King is a fighting piece. Use it!
A sacrifice is best refuted by accepting it
I may be an old lion, but I can still bite someone's hand off if he puts it in my mouth.
